1° Henry Cooper to Joe Erskine
On March 21, 1961 at the Empire Pool in London, Henry Cooper beat Joe Erskine, in the Commonwealth heavyweight title fight and BBBofC, a brutal beating.
The fight agreed to 15 rounds, was stopped in the fifth round and the punishment was such, that Erskine could not even stand up, after two falls to the canvas in less than 20 seconds, Cooper struck again in the face of the opponent, who collapsed on the ropes and was half the body out of the ring, defeated, melted and without conceiving anything of what had happened.
2° Juan Manuel Márquez to Manny Pacquiao
Powerful and dramatic was the knockout that Juan Manuel Márquez gave Manny Pacquiao in the sixth round to conquer the belt of the fighter of the decade
This is undoubtedly one of the most memorable moments in the history of Mexican boxing, for the victor and his followers, memories of this kind will be stored in memory forever as moments of glory.
Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez faced for the fourth time, after three controversial fights in which the balance was a draw, and two victories for the Filipino, who had been criticized by the final decision of the judges in the third lawsuit, same as Márquez and his followers, said that it must have been for the Mexican.
On December 8, 2012 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, in the sixth round, the fight was tilted in favor of the Mexican, but as in the previous fights, the 'Pac Man' made him visit the canvas, with a blow to the chin, the Mexican put the glove on the canvas and the referee gave him the protection count, Juan Manuel got up without problems, and answered with a right hand to the face, but when there were 40 seconds left to finish the fifth episode, Pacquiao put in bad conditions to the 'Dynamite' who survived the miracle round.
Pacquiao had his left hand on, two ruffles made Marquez start to bleed from his nose, the Mexican did not have a good time, even so, the Mexican threw punches that kept 'Pac Man' away, when the round was agonizing, Márquez connected to Pacquiao in the chin and disconnected, the 'Pac Man' fell like a sack, unconscious, it was not necessary to do the counting of protection everything was over.
3° Eric Esch to Rodney Phillips
Eric Esch better known as 'Butterbean', was characterized during his career as a fighter not only because of its large size, but for being a born knockout. With little mobility but with an incredible punch, there is an extensive range of knockouts to choose from this 'chubby' North American, that of his 77 triumphs as a boxer, he managed to sleep 58 of his rivals.
Here I present this KO to Rodney Phillips, on May 8, 2004. It was just the second episode and Butterbean was in full control of the fight, while his opponent seemed to just escape the fists of Esch, who finally found the perfect opportunity to put a fulminante right that left Phillips without possibilities.
4° Sergio Martínez to Paul Williams
On November 20, 2011, the Argentine Sergio 'Maravilla' Martinez exposed in Atlantic City, the WBC middleweight title against Paul Williams of the United States, in this suit, the Argentine would be victorious by KO in the second round, after connecting blunt way with a left wing in the face of his rival. Watch here the video of that lawsuit, and the moment in which all Argentina shouted with emotion with the power of 'Wonder'.
5° Vitali Klitschko a Danny Williams
Although this was a TKO, I have decided to include it because of the brutality of the punishment on the part of the Ukrainian to his rival.
The now contender to the Presidency of his country; Ukraine, was one of the great knockers that have been seen in Europe among the heavyweights, and this lawsuit was no exception.
The Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, was the scene in which Klitschko defeated the British Paul Williams in a fight that belonged entirely to the Ukrainian. Williams, fell to the canvas in rounds 1, 3, and 7, until in the 8th round, the referee decided to end the fight.
The impact of this fight is the way in which Williams falls repeatedly, with open arms, legs that seem to work with a balance between work, and the lost look on the blue surface. Here the images of that beating on the part of Vitali Klitschko, who in this way successfully defended his heavyweight title of the WBC that December 11, 2004
