      B/c it was a lineal HW championship, if you add the significance factor then that's it. The one that gives me creeps is Hearns-Duran. Jackson against either Graham or Norris as well

          Hard to pick a "single" KO punch

          Tyson over Spinks
          Hearns over Duran
          Duran over Lampkin
          Ali over Liston (II)

              Jackson vs Graham for me. Herol was doing so well then to be caught like a monster punch like that was shocking and brutal.

                Here's a sleeper from a fight long forgotten: Mike Weaver's one punch 15th round KO over John Tate.

                  i was actual going to say that, i watched that fight last night jst downloaded it of wbva, tate was quite away ahead before that. in fact i would say it completely ruined tate's life he was a good boxer and had good skills but he was never the same after that one punch, then he got onto drugs and died in a car crash in 1998. shame he was another wasted 80's heavyweight.

                    What about Sonny Liston over Albert Westphal (#4 HW Contender at the time), the fight lasted 1:58 and he was knocked out for over 2 minutes.. Now ain't that something.

                    Sonny Liston on how he won "Left jab, right hand" and the right hand was more like "right hand of God."
