I always love watching lists like this. Boxing Union’s YouTube page is a great resource for tribute videos on older fighters. Recently, they dropped a complilation ranking the Top 50 Knockouts of All Time. Unlike most lists, Boxing Union doesn’t just focus on modern times. Fighters ranging from Jack Johnson and Joe Gans in the early 1900’s to Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson are featured. Of course, no list is perfect. Some devastating KO’s like Gatti-Gamache, Morrison-Mercer, and Tua-Ruiz are missing. But the fact that there’s likely anywhere from 5-20 KO’s you’ve never seen more than makes up for the notable omissions. Coming up with a list like this is not easy, and you can tell the person (reznik8) behind it did his or her research.

Incredible video; wonderfully put together! I know each of these lists is up for scrutiny, but I can’t see how any “Greatest Boxing Knockout” video could omit Douglas all but ending Mike Tyson’s career. The Heavyweight division hasnt been the same since Tyson was on the scene, and the significance of that fight should make any top knockout list.
