Duran never got put out like that up to that point, and never did afterwards I don't think. Hearns knocking him completely cold is one of those KOs that will always be remembered because of who's involved.
Pac's KO of Hatton will be remembered for Pac, but that's it. Same for Sergio.
Hearns knocking Roberto Duran unconscious is boxing legend.
I'm gonna go with Hearns-Duran.
The Pacquiao-Hatton knockout was devastating but Hatton had been knocked out before by Mayweather.
Martinez-Williams was also devastating but I don't think Martinez could've knocked out Duran like that.
I think the Hearns one is easily most impressive because of the calibre of fighter Duran was (even thought he was past prime)
Martinez-Williams is the most impressive visually though.
Hearns-Duran, it's a classic and Durans chin is far far superior to hattons or williams making the KO more impressive.
Yea, this is what i was thinking. Both Hearns and Duran were beasts!
Hatton was practically asking to get knockedout, he was walking forward right into Pacs reach with his hands down, Pacquiao telegraphed the punch and Hatton couldn't do anything about it.
Wrong time to put this up, people are still biased in their views, but let it cool down for about a month when people come into their senses
I will bump it next month.
duran stumbled forward and was then out, hatton got clipped at 140, paul was out the second that shot touched his chin. I thought he was dead. Fight was at 157
duran was able to move as soon as he got koed...he recovered right away....pwill and hatton were'nt moving when they got koed and took them a while to recover esp ricky hatton....
Jones-Tarver was the most unexpected one punch KO Ive ever seen in a high profile fight. Off of the list Id say knocking out Duran is the most impressive, but the Hatton KO was the most brutal. Williams got starched, but it wasnt a hurry and call the medics type of KO.
Tough one, Paul had never been knocked out but he got up relatively soon after and was able to hold a conversation. Thirty seconds after the KO, pwill was trying to sit up, 2 minuets after Hatton's they were putting him on a gurney and people literally thought Hatton was dead.
Hearns-Duran, it's a classic and Durans chin is far far superior to hattons or williams making the KO more impressive.
this exactly...but the martinez ko looks a bit more devastating with pwill being completely null and void and all.
