Alexander Povetkin vs Manual Charr...

never saw this fight but wow great combination

A lot of boxing still left but right now I'd have to give it to Froch or Walters. I just can't give to unknown boxers because they KO'd some scrub nobody knows, despite how savage it might have been. The KO has to have meaning as in they beat a recognizable or decent opponent. That means more than brutally knocking out some taxi driver on the prelim of a Friday Nights Fight card IMO.

The Walters KO meant absolutely nothing.

The Walters KO meant absolutely nothing.

You're right, and perhaps that was a bad example as the Postol KO victory means more. However, Walters KO'd a fighter most of us know and made people start to recognize him for the future. Knocking out a past his prime Darchinyan is still better than destroying some random bum.

I agree to an extent, however, in this thread I would like to expose the lesser known KO's that are still exciting to watch.

Lemieux/Guerrero and Rubio/Spada?
