This (these) may not have the historical significance of a Louis vs. Schmelling, but Tommy Hearns' KO of Roberto Duran was as spectacular as it was brutal.
Mclennan vs. Benn was a brutal fight period, between 2 of the hardest hitting middleweights of the time, resulting in a knockout and bad injuries suffered to Mclennan. Also I remember Aaron Pryor brutalizing Arguello for a knockout of the 80's. Nobody wanted to fight Pryor after that one. Can't really blame them.
