10. Buster Douglas vs. Mike Tyson
After getting knocked down by Mike at the end of the 8th round, Buster held on in the 9th and staggered Mike a few times. Early in the 10th round, Buster catches Mike with a whirlwind right uppercut that puts him out on his feet, then folows with a left hook-right hook that sends Mike on the back of his heels, and a final straight left that crashes Mike down onto his back.

9. George Foreman vs. Ken Norton
Norton was knocked down twice in the 2nd round, though the first knockdown pales in comparison to the second. After bouncing off the ropes, Norton walks right into 2 crunching left hooks from Foreman, which stuns him momentarly. He gains conciousness a bit too late, for he is nailed by a right uppercut which sends him stumbling. However, he is caught by a fully, wound-up, looping right hand that sends him flying onto the canvas. That last right right was arguably the hardest punch Foreman threw in his career.

8. Joe Louis vs. Red Burman
Joe Louis may have had more grand KO's, but he never had one as brutal as he did on Red Burman in 1941. He was up on all of the scorecards by the 5th round, and had Burman cornered. Joe catches Burman with an underhand left to the stomach, and Burman slowly sinks against the ringpost, but Joe nails Burman again with the same punch to the face. Burman then falls on his ass and just sits there, and the ref doesn't even bother counting as he calls the fight then and there. Try watching this KO without having a sick feeling in your stomach.

7. Floyd Patterson vs. Ingemar Johansson II
After getting KO'ed by Ingemar in their first bout, Patterson was back with a vengeance. Early in the 5th round, Floyd nailed Ingemar with a right cross, ducked under one of Ingemar's own rights, and threw a left hook that is arguably one of the best punches ever thrown. Ingemar was rocked, knocked unconcious, and hit the floor with a thud. The most intriguing part is Ingemar when he lands. His left foot starts twitching uncontrollably until he finally wakes up.

I'm gonna post the rest tomorrow. Hope you enjoy.

6. Rocky Marciano vs. "Jersey" Joe Walcott I
The Brockton Blockbuster was having the toughest fight of his life. Down on all scorecards, absolutely getting manhandled by Walcott. He was even dropped by a left hook in the first round. He was getting mauled by Walcott in rounds 7-10, thanks to some sort of chemical getting in his eye. In the 13th, Walcott waited for Marciano to come in range and threw a right. However, Marciano caught Walcott with a right just before Walcott's landed on Marciano. And what a right hand it was. It snapped Walcott's head, and Walcott slumped down to one knee. Marciano's attack was not over, as he threw a fierce left hook to Walcott's head. Walcott appeared dead after that bombastic right.

5. Mike Tyson vs. Michael "Jack" Johnson
A very early fight in Tyson's career. I believe he was only 7-0 coming into this fight. The first bell rings, and Tyson comes storming out. Within 30 seconds, Mike floors Johnson with a left-right to the body. As soon as the ref allows the fight to start again, Johnson is caught full on by a freight-train right hook, that seems to snap his neck and paralyze him. Johnson smacks the canvas hard and stayed down for what seemed like an hour, with the paramedics quickly rushing to him and the commentator stating "Johnson is really hurt." After this fight, the world opened it's eyes to Iron Mike and saw that he wasn't kidding around.

4. Jack Dempsey vs. Gene Tunney II
After losing his title a year before to Tunney by decision, the Manassa Mauler was back with a vengeance. Though he had aged since his massacre of Willard in 1919, he was hungry, and the last thing you wanted to fight was a hungry Jack Dempsey. The first 6 rounds went the same as the last fight, Tunney ahead by a large margin of points. In the 7th round, a long right snaps Tunney's head back, then a lunging left hook knocks him back into the ropes, and is hit again by a crunching right hand. Dempsey fires and lands a snapping left hook to Tunney's face, which sends Tunney reeling along the ropes. On the way down, Dempsey nails a perfect 3 punch combonation that has Tunney breathing heavily on his back. The ref tries to get Dempsey to a neutral corner, but he refuses. Finally, when the ref forces Dempsey to get to the corner, he starts the count and Tunney gets up at 3. However, Tunney had been down a good 10 count before the ref actually started counting. Tunney stuck it out for the rest of the fight and won a decision. But no matter what, Dempsey will never be forgotten for how beautiful and intense that knockdown was.

3. Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling II
In their first fight, Louis was pummeled for 12 rounds until he was knocked out, suffering his only loss in his career at the time. He had recently won the title by an 8th round KO of James J. Braddock, and was challenged by German Schmeling. The fight would soon be one of the most symbolic and influential sporting events of all-time. The first round opened with Louis delivering a beating to Schmeling along the ropes, forcing the ref to to break them up. Louis floored Schmeling twice, but it's the last knockdown that really stands. As soon as Schemling gets up, Louis shoots a signature left jab. Schmeling tries to throw a weak right, but Louis simply knocks it out of the way and throws a devastating right to the side of Schemling that has him wincing over in pain. A left to the chest knocks Schmeling up, and Louis takes a quick pause as if to let the pain sink in, and comes down on the top of Schmeling's head with a smashing right cross that snaps Schemling's head around in a sick, violent motion. Schmeling was down and his corner threw in the towel. The perfection and brutality of the knockdown will always be an image of America's conquest of Germany.

Muhammad Ali vs. Cleveland Williams
Ali had nearly dominated everything in sight, and Cleveland Williams, a heavy-hitter that gave Liston troubles in his prime, was up next. However, Ali made Williams look like no one that could have given a prime Liston trouble. For 3 rounds, Ali landed around 300 punches, whereas Williams landed 3. Late in the 2nd round, Williams was floored twice. After getting up, Ali immediatly rushes and nails him with a straight right-straight left, and launches a long left hook. An explosive right hand that had Ali's whole body behind it snapped Williams's head back and floored him. The 4 punches are blended together that makes Ali's arms look like machine guns. Williams was saved by the floor, but was counted out early in the 3rd round. Never have I seen a multi-punch landed and executed so perfectly on one's head. That was argubaly Ali's best performance in the ring, and easily the best knockdown he made.
