Best light heavyweight KOs

Name em.

The two OBVIOUS ones are Foster-Tiger and Foster-Quarry. They're also the two best.

Others that to mind:

Spinks-Pops
Jones-Hill
Jones-Griffin II
EMM-Mwale
DM-Mark Prince
Jeff Harding-Giovanini

 

Johnson vs Jones.

Roy was OUT!

 

Woods vs Klemetsen.

 

Tarver-Jones II
Saad-Mwale
Smith-Johnson

 

Ya cunt!

 

I don't think it is quite top 10. Roy was badly damaged by then.

But it's amazing how SHOCKING it still was, at the time.

Now it seems perfectly understandable.

 

Spinks-Pops and Saad-Mwale are 2 of the best uppercuts ever thrown. One-punch uppercut KOs are rare compared to other punches (like left hooks), but these are both up there. Spinks was sort of a hook/uppercut mix.

I’m thinking that Kovalev, Stevenson, and Moorer have some highlight reel KOs, but I can’t think of any particular ones at this moment.

 

The best stevenson ko is probably the.dawson.one, but chad beats the count and the stoppage was early

 

Not to worry, those were only holograms. Simply propaganda from Big Boxa

 

Kovalev was a victim of a highlight reel KO against Canelo.

 

johnson/jones

 

While Roy did drop Reggie, that fight ended in a unanimous decision, not a knockout.

 

talking about his 2nd round ko of ron johnson

 

Wasn't at light-heavy

 

If he had a gentler landing he might have got up

 

2:33



37:30

 

Nevermind the banks fight was at cruiser

 

good point

 

If there was footage of it, the Charles-Moore KO in their third fight would be near the top of most lists.

 

That fight proved beyond all doubt that Roy was completely shot, the Tarver KO, as many of us suspected all along, didn’t mean SHIT. In his younger years he’d have greased someone like Glen Johnson with such ease that people would immediately have him added on the list of ‘bums’ that Roy ‘handpicked’.

 

Charles supposedly has quite a few devastating KOs at LHW; including them against Moore, Bivins and Marshall. Based on how clean his KOs against Satterfield and Reynolds were, I believe them.

 

Thanks for the two hours I spent on boxrec looking at the Spinks family records for this "Pops" character.

Anybody who kod this johnson must have been good.

 

Indeed. But it's still a peach of a KO.

 

Roy wasn't shot physically. Daddy Tarver just took his soul. Some people after getting ko'ed never ever wanna experience it again and fight with fear thus taking way less chances. Roy's best defense was his offense. Once he stopped taking chances in fear of getting countered and ko'ed he became ripe pickings for everyone. Tarver took Roy's soul and never gave it back.



In the third Tarver fight Roy exposed himself. He exposed that he physically still has it and whooped daddy Tarver in round 5 like nothing then quickly remembered the ko and went back in his mental shell.

 

I wonder who took the Roy demise worse, Max Kellerman or Reed. Probably Kellerman.

 

A simple eye test says that you're lying.

There was a notable, very significant drop in Roy's speed (hand and foot), and reflexes in the Johnson fight. You would have to be the hugest Roy hater on Earth to not acknowledge it.

Watch the Hill fight. Watch the Reggie Johnson fight. Watch the Hall fight. Then... watch the Glen Johnson fight. Then tell us OBJECTIVELY that Roy wasn't physically shot.

 

he was done.

His skin was ashen for the weigh in for the FIRST Tarver fight.........and he never really got over it.

I've dropped weight fast- it ruins you. Period.

It's better to be 20lbs OVER than 20lbs UNDER.

 

I wonder if BOSS believes that the Golota who got blown out in 1 by Brewster is the same Golota who fought Bowe. I'm sure he doesn't think that.

 

The weight drop, plus being in his mid-30s, killed him.

He could have safely pulled it off at 25. It's not the same doing it at 35.

Teofimo can only pull off draining himself down to 135 because he's 23. If he tried that shit at 35, he'd be a corpse like Roy.

 

Ok I'll take your word for it.
