i think this will be a fun little undertaking, and i think double d will approve
post a clip for all to enjoy. if you can only find the entire fight, tell everyone where to FF to.
here's my first entry. i watched this fight live (on TV) back in 1996. i really thought John Ruiz was either going to a) suffer permanent brain damage, or worse b) die from David Tua's punches.
if you want to skip all the preliminary stuff, FF to 1:45. but don't blink, because the destruction was swift; the fight only lasted 19 seconds. and pay special attention to the left hook Ruiz absorbs (especially the slo-mo replay) as he's falling to the ground like a tree in the forest. absolutely savage.

My oh my, it's good to see that my boxing talk is rubbing off on you guys around here. That was a brutal knockout from David Tua, he had some serious power, a scary guy capable of ending any fight with one shot, it's crazy to think that John Ruiz actually picked up the pieces after that knockout and went on to have a decent career, including a win over Evander Holyfield. Anyway, I love this knockout, Sergo Martinez hits Paul Williams with a shot that Williams never even saw coming. You know what they say, the most dangerous punches are the ones you never see coming. The punch was a short left that caught Williams right on the chin, as he attempted to deliver a left hand of his own.
Hmm, this one was brutal, Gervonta Davis hits Leo Santa Cruz with a vicious left uppercut.
This one was truly scary, Ray Mercer obliterates Jeff Pegues. Notice how Mercer winds up and hits Pegues full force.
One more before I pack it in for the night, Rocky Marciano stalks his prey around the ring, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to go in for the kill, and catches Jersey Joe Walcott against the ropes.
Straight NASTY
One more quickie before I go to bed, George Foreman vs Gerry Cooney, notice the walking-uppercut that Foreman hits Cooney with to put him away, Foreman hits Cooney with a beautiful left uppercut while he's walking in, it was called the "walking uppercut", freaking beautiful punch.
i remember when Tyson turned Joe Frazier's son into a bowl of malt o meal in half a minute
the position he left him in was unnerving
2:40 to jump to the slaughter

Man, Tyson was so dangerous when he was focused, a destroyer, it didn't take much for him to put you away. Notice how Tyson was one of the first guys over there to check on Frazier after the knockout, he did care about his opponents and knew the kind of damage he was capable of. I always thought Tyson had the perfect body built for destruction, those muscular legs and strong upper body. If you were going to build the perfect machine to destroy, it would look like Mike Tyson, so powerful and explosive, he was built like a bull in human form.
I got to give a shout out to the body shot artists, it really is an art form, if you've ever injured your ribs, and I have twice, you know how painful it is. It's hurts to move, it hurts to breath, you can't sleep on the injured side, it's pure hell that lasts for weeks, I can't imagine taking a shot from a boxer to the side of my rib area. A good body shot will end a fight just as quickly as a head shot, and render an opponent helpless, unable to stand. Here, Irish Micky Ward takes out Alfonso Sanchez with a left hook to the kidney.
This one was brutal, Gerry Cooney traps Ken Norton in the corner and really lets him have it.
Henry Cooper had a nasty left hook, it was devastating if he caught you flush with it, it was nicknamed "Henry's Hammer". In this video, you can see how devastating the hammer could be as he knocks down Joe Erskine twice before finishing him off.
Derrick Jefferson takes out Maurice Harris with a brutal left hook.
Donovan "Razor" Ruddock started his career as a technical boxer, until he discovered that he had brutal knockout power, and then things changed. He became a KO artist and he developed a punch that he called "the smash", it was a left hook/uppercut that was devastating to get hit with, and here he catches Michael Dokes with the smash.
Bob Foster is one of the hardest punchers in boxing history, nicknamed "the deputy sheriff" because he was a sheriff's deputy in New Mexico at one time, it didn't take much for him to put you out, just a simple little left hook would do.
The whole boxing world was in shock when this happened in 2012, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez had a vicious rivalry and this was their fourth meeting, in the 6th round Manny Pacquiao came forward and Marquez threw a overhand right counter that Pacquiao never saw coming, the perfect punch, and Pacquiao was out cold. The great Manny Pacquiao was never the same again after this.
Deontay Wilder vs Artur Szpilka, they don't call Wilder the "Bronze Bomber" for nothing, Artur Szpilka walks right into the explosive power of Wilder.
i know double d loves him some Julian Jackson
here he destroyed Herol Graham with one punch
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
Graham was in control of that fight, but that's all it takes with Jackson, one punch, unbelievable finish.
Did I say Straight NASTY ????
Nasty indeed, this thread will probably be the most brutal thread of all-time on the forum!
Amir Mansour unleashes a thunderous right on Fred Kassi.
Roberto Duran was one of the toughest fighters to ever live, but that all goes out the window against the hitman.
Matthew Saad Muhammad with a beautiful right followed by a left uppercut, destroys Lottie Mwale.
Canelo Alvarez hits Liam Smith with a vicious left hook to the ribs, one of the most beautiful body shots I've ever seen.
Arturo Gatti hits Joey Gamache with a 3 punch combo, an uppercut, left hook, and right hook.
@perkdog you want NASTY?
Mercer was a brutal man, he was nicknamed 'merciless" for a reason, once he got you trapped, he wasn't going to stop until you were out cold.
Nakatani vs Moloney, This is a prime example of why boxing is the most brutal, unforgiving sport, you don't play boxing.
and then we have Julian on the wrong side of things in this one. i loved watching Gerald McClellan fight. so unfortunate what happened to him at age 28 in the Nigel Benn fight. he came within a whisker of knocking Benn out in the 1st, which would have prevented the tragedy.
but back to this particular fight.
G-Man was a pit bull and a HARD puncher. and boy he got Jackson good at the end of this one. all 5 minutes are worth watching.
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
no vicious KO in this one, just one of the greatest rounds of boxing i've ever witnessed
i think Hagler & Hearns lost 15 lbs apiece in 3 minutes
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
That Jackson vs McClellan fight was something else, two of the hardest punching Alpha males in the sports history going at it, wow is all I can say. And Hagler vs Hearns, double wow!
I want to post this video of Jerry Quarry, I think it signifies why I love this sport more than any other sport. He didn't always win, sometimes he got knocked out, sometimes he knocked you out, but he had tremendous heart, he came to fight and gave his all. You know, boxing is a lot like life, we get our a.. handed to us sometimes, but we keep fighting on and we won't back down.
Carl "The Cobra" Froch unleashes one of the most vicious straight right hand shots I've ever seen on George Groves.
