    Why Povetkin's Knockout was better than Davis' knockout

    - Povetkin was an underdog, wasn't expected to win... is 40 years old past his prime. facing a bigger dude and a top HW contender

    -Davis is younger in his prime, he was EXPECTED to win, facing a smaller guy in a lower weight class...

    i mean its pretty self explanatory

    Davis was more impressive. When someone not much bigger than my 2.5 year old nephew can produce that much power it’s very impressive

        Povetkin is a 103kg dude. You’re expected to be able to KO someone with a good shot

          You're right but i think Davis' actual punch was more aesthetic.

          I would give KO of the year to Pov though. Come from behind KO with a picture perfect slip and left uppercut over a guy that was dominating him.... doesnt get much better than that

              They were both very nice knockouts.

              Not sure why one has to be better than the other.

                But the winner is actually Zepeda in both fight of the year and KO of the year. The other two KO's are runner ups.

                  This is a fair argument.

                    I think Knockouts of the year aren't based on anything but how VIOLENT they were and Tank KO over LSC was more VIOLENT than Povetkin's over Whyte.
