Top 50 Most Spectacular Boxing Knockouts

[@vcjjj08]

What Ray Mercer did to Tommy Morrison (RIP) should have been considered a crime. Merciless indeed.

[@zachh._.123]

Thats boxing for you like it or not

[@gggallon]

@@zachh._.123 If Morrison had Mercer on the ropes & in trouble, he also would have turned the whoop-ass on him. You're right sir, that's the name of the game.

[@bigink190]

That hearns ko was #1 in my book too !!! Great job Rummy

[@midnick2159]

Julian "The Hawk" Jackson owns some of the most devastating knockouts I've ever seen. Dude was powerful, accurate, and intimidating.

[@bobbyray464]

he aint intimidated you

[@Honkiavelli]

100%

[@renzopeterson153]

His speed, capabilities and skill level go over looked as well. This man was delivering pure k.o's going backwards, setting traps and had a better chin than given credit for. Julian took some truck power punches from some hitters and killers.

Hearns v Cuevas. Dude couldn't even fall down after the punch

[@abbiebaloyi6658]

[@kiasax2]

As an amateur boxer, I got to workout at the Kronk Gym in downtown Detroit. Thomas "Hitman" Hearns was there and taking a little light sparring. I was sparring trying to learn something. Mr. Hearns asked if I'd like let him give me a few pointers. Are you kidding? Please, just don't hurt me. It happened. Mr. Hearns accidentally caught me with a right hand that broke the sound barrier. Well, I heard the BOOM. I went down faster than my knees could buckle and Tommy Hearns only grazed my jaw. Grazed me. I was a big, strong guy too. 6'3"and 220 pounds, I was dead lifting 550 pounds to work out with, benching 300 pounds, and was in super shape. Tommy Hearns taught me that I had a jaw made from lollipops! 😅

[@douglasrock9414]

Dude.... THAT is a story for a lifetime! Amazing! thank you!

[@BradTaylor-n8t]

This is why I read the comments. Great story. Hearns was skinny, but he packed a wallop

Why? Foreman beat Joe up, but he didn’t knock Joe out. He knocked him down 6 times and he got up every time. It was stopped with Frazier on his feet.

[@BradTaylor-n8t]

There were many other great ones, too. There's been so many over the years like Foreman KOing Frazier and some Morrison fights when he actually wasn't getting hammered. Tyson had some other really great KOs like 44 of them. There was a little dude from Venezuela named Edwin Valero who was an absolute monster for his lightweight size. He destroyed people

[@johnbarney5787]

This was an incredible video! Thank you so much. An excellent countdown

[@pauljdowney]

Your number 2 should be number 1. The Jackson vs Graham knockout is unusual because it completely turned off Graham's brain like an epileptic seizure. Please note that Graham fell backwards onto his back. Boxers virtually never fall backwards when knocked out, they collapse forward. It should also be noted that it was only one punch and Graham was clearly winning the fight and out boxing Jackson before the knockout. Graham was warned repeatedly of Jackson's extremely dangerous power but he was starting to disregard his corner. Julian and Herol are both top notch quality people but in this fight it was not a knockout/concussion but a brain going into seizure for Herol. Can anybody find another boxer who unfortunately collapsed backwards like a tree falling in the forest? This is the sign of a brain turning off like a light switch.

[@charleslowe522]

I agree, but I can also understand why the Hitman's KO over Duran gets the number one spot. Duran was boxings ultimate tough guy, despite quitting against SRL. Duran was just coming off a very close decision loss to Marvin Hagler and Duran was also the first fighter to take Hagler the full 15 round distance without ever being hurt throughout the entire fight. Duran had only suffered two flash knockdowns earlier in his career against Esteban DeJesus. The first was in their non-title fight in the first round and then in the rematch in the first round. SRL, Pipino Cuevas nor Hagler wasn't able to put any hurt on Duran and for Tommy to score an epic one punch KO that would face plant Duran is what gets Hearns KO of Duran first place, but my argument as to why Jackson vs Graham should be first, Hearns had already had Duran down and hurt a couple of times. Graham was in complete control and had not been touched by Jackson and Graham could've exerted a little more caution and not followed Jackson, the fight would've probably been stopped due to the damage of Jackson's eye. Graham got a little too overconfident and to you and I earned a spot of number one on the greatest KO's list.

[@eranliber5993]

You say true things. But take under consideration a few things - graham was less durable than duran. Much less. And relying solely on the outcome after the punch landed for me is less the issue because i dont see why its a decisive factor - after all - rjj's ko on serwano should be your no2. On the other hand - the fact that most men fall this way or the other doest fall into a factor for me because its predicated on many things like their stand and how did they sfift their weight when they were tagged. Again, i do not tend to think that james toney's ko of charles williams should be on the top 3 - but by your logic - if a man falls forward its devestating enough to be on the very top. Overall, even of i feel jackson was a bigger puncher, i think no1 here is very deserving.

[@Thebonesoftrees]

Fanatics content. Thanks Rummy.

[@bigzero718]

I feel like Bob fosters was one of the best left hooks ever and don't get the recognition he the deserve

[@michaelwhite479]

his ko off Mike Quarry is still number one for me. I thought he killed him at first. When you need smelling salts and you still aren't moving, that is the epitome of being knocked out.

[@captainthrall]

[@mikehannon4097]

I can't believe no one chose the Foreman Fraser title fight in 1972 I believe it was. A remarkable knockout after many trips to the canvas for Fraser.

[@TheOldSchool1975]

Frazier kept getting up. 6 times. Big George even has stated he was more afraid of Joe than Muhammad.... I think that's why George's destruction of smokin Joe can't be included here, cause Joe actually kept getting up even though he was K0ed

[@TSTrecords]

Didn't understand that non selection either.

Seeing Burt Cooper brought up some crazy memories for me. In 1996 I was working and living at a resort in the Catskills . Bruce Seldon had his training camp for his Tyson fight there. Bert was there as a sparring partner to emulate Tyson's style. I was in my early 20s and a huge boxing fan back then too, so I was pumped watching the sparring and hanging out with the fighters. I knew who Cooper was from his fight with Holyfield and Foreman. But I didn't know about his documented struggles with addiction at the time. Long story short me and couple buddies who worked there took Cooper out drinking and all hell broke loose after that. The next morning the trainer was at breakfast asking if anybody knew where Bert was. He was missing, which was strange because he didn't know anyone in this tiny town of Monticello, NY. That's when I found out he wasn't getting paid for sparring till the end of the training camp. They didn't want him to have any cash on him and be tempted to go on a binge. Two days later I was opening the shop at 6am and a cab pulled up to the front door. I was there by myself and Bert comes out of the cab looking crazy ,all sweaty and bug eyed. He comes into the shop walks over to me and says "Hey man I gotz to have a hundred dollars". I went right over to register hit no sale and said here you go boss. It think it was about a week before they got him out of there and in treatment or something. He was actually a really good guy and had some great story's. It's a shame the demons got the best him. The story he told me about the Foreman fight was this huge conspiracy. He said Foremans team paid a couple girls to distract him before the fight. He said the night before the fight he was up all night partying. He was a true warrior and was just too small to be a Heavyweight in my opinion. RIP Coop

What's so fantastic is the overhead shot of Rahman on the canvas with his head sitting perfectly central inside the crown of Don King's logo on the canvas. There's poetry in that.

Lots of great ones. Jersey Joe Walcott's Walk in the Park left hook against Ezzard Charles might just be the most breathtaking punch caught on film. The footwork. The timing and accuracy are sublime. Also, anyone crazy enough to face Julian "The Hawk" Jackson in his prime deserves respect. His knockouts were scary. Notably, that two piece combo from Lennox on Hasim was extra spicy.

[@luckyveto]

I think Walcotts ko of Charles and Marcianos 13th round ko of Walcott are two of the craziest knockouts caught on film. Supposedly it took Walcott like half an hour to wake up and they thought he was dead initially.

[@darthwiizius]

In reference to the Lennox on Hasim 2 shot, the left was a feint to open up the Right. In the break before rounds Manny told Lewis that Hasim never counter punches and that he should, ahem, "take the mutha f*cka out".
