    BOXINGSCENE: KNOCKOUTS Of The YEAR

    I thought this would be a fun topic to start. Basically, I would like to unofficially complete Ring ****zine's list of Knockouts of the Year, which began awarding fighters from 1989 onwards.

    Rack your brains trying to think of the most brutal and devastating knockouts you have seen in a fight from that specific year. Any KO pre-1989 is fine by me.

    This is the Ring ****zine's list of KO's from 1989-present.

    • 1989: Michael Nunn KO 1 Sumbu Kalambay
    • 1990: Terry Norris KO 1 John Mugabi
    • 1991: no award was given
    • 1992: Morris East KO 11 Akinobu Hiranaka
      . . .tie: Kennedy McKinney KO 11 Welcome Ncita
    • 1993: Gerald McClellan KO 5 Julian Jackson
    • 1994: George Foreman KO 10 Michael Moorer
    • 1995: Julio César Vásquez KO 11 Carl Daniels
    • 1996: Wilfredo Vázquez KO 11 Eloy Rojas
    • 1997: Arturo Gatti KO 5 Gabriel Ruelas
    • 1998: Roy Jones Jr. KO 4 Virgil Hill
    • 1999: Derrick Jefferson KO 6 Maurice Harris
    • 2000: Ben Tackie KO 10 Roberto Garcia
    • 2001: Lennox Lewis KO 4 Hasim Rahman
    • 2002: Lennox Lewis KO 8 Mike Tyson
    • 2003: Rocky Juarez KO 10 Antonio Diaz
    • 2004: Antonio Tarver KO 2 Roy Jones Jr.
    • 2005: Allan Green KO 1 Jaidon Codrington
    • 2006: Calvin Brock KO 6 Zuri Lawrence
    • 2007: Nonito Donaire KO 5 Vic Darchinyan
    • 2008: Edison Miranda KO 3 David Banks

            90-I would go with Ruddock-Dokes. 94-Jorge Castro-John David Jackson. 95- Merqui Sosa-Charles Williams. 97-Lewis-Golota.

                I assumed he was asking for fights that were not selected as KO of the year or that he didn't already list. Of course Martinez -Williams would be my number 1 pick for 2010. As far as brutality, Chambers was as brutally knocked out as any fighter that I happened to see in 2010.
