Well I'll go with Tyson taking apart Spinks in 91 seconds. Or Tyson absolutely tearing Michael Johnson apart.
Foreman's six knockdown KO on Smokin' Joe, or his anihalation of Ken Norton.
Smokin' Joe over Bob Foster or his brutal beating on Jimmy Ellis. Another prime example of his underrated power is his 4th round KO on George Chuvalo, where he tears his eye out of its socket.
Definetley Ali over Cleveland Williams, seeing that Williams hit him only 3 times in 3 rounds, and Ali knocked him down 4 times before the ref called it. Williams was a bloody mess after the fight.
Jack Dempsey over Jess Willard. Any time you can knock someone down 7 times in one round is ungodly.
Joe Louis not only knocked down Schmeling 3 times en route to a 1st round KO, he also broke 2 vertebres in his back with one punch.
And don't leave out both fights of Sonny Liston's jackhammer shots to poor Floyd Patterson's head.
Holmes vs Cobb was a beatdown!
Pacquiao busting up Margarito eye was pretty bad
Tony zale beat and ko’ed Graziano out cold in their 3rd fight
Vitali almost put Shannon Briggs in a coma the way he punished him (not literally)
Hagler destroying Hamsho
Let’s not forget the ass whooping Calzaghe put on Jeff Lacy!
Trinidad vs Joppy
Calzaghe vs Lacy
Barrera vs Hamed
Pacquiao vs Morales 3
Pacquiao vs De La Hoya
Mayweather vs Gatti
Mayweather vs Corrales
Roy Jones vs Hall
Roy Jones vs Griffin 2
Pacquiao vs Margarito
Mosley vs Margarito
Pretty surprised I'm not to seeing Danny Lopez vs Salvador Sanchez I and II mentioned yet. The first fight more so than the 2nd. That first fight was a slaughter and it also tells anyone who wasn't already aware that Danny Lopez was one of those men who must've had a hard time getting around in life, what with the wheelbarrow necessary for carrying around his what must be some just massive, elephantiasis affected looking balls in. Danny did do SOMEWHAT better in the rematch, not being stopped until the 14th round, which was one more round than he did the first time even, but still, I think it easily fits this list's criteria. As does Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez. Gomez did land his share here and there but that fight was a bad, bad blowout.
- -Technical Tunney out pointing a Rusty Jack not an ass whooping.
Shame on boxing for letting the films of those two fights deteriorate so. What remains that I've seen is very tepid for a Dempsey fight and too disjointed to understand the flow of the fight.

I agree it is impossible to watch . . . my statement comes from a Dempsey quote where he admitted some time later that by the start of the eight round he was only looking to survive, not wanting to go out with a KO. Also of course Dempsey's face was a mess afterwards, thus the famed line to Taylor, "Honey I forgot to duck."
