I remember, as a teenager, sitting on the couch of a black neighbor with his friends watching this. Just plain awesome!

It gets really good at about the 21:45 mark. The "Brown Bomber" gets upset by brutal knockout![video=youtube;lihT_ewxVko]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lihT_ewxVko[/video]
Thanks WW. Schmeling was a true gentleman who was also very successful outside the ring. He was also married 54 years. He's one of my favorite boxers (along with the K-Bros, Jess Willard & Tex Cobb).
Though caste-think has Jerry Quarry a perpetual loser, he had many good wins, including this one against a prime and very dangerous Ernie Shavers.

There are so many great ones I cant believe this thread has as few as it does so far. If Im posting too many somebody stop me. I love this thread, and its fun to find these knockouts, and share them.
This one is in the movie "The Fighter". Its a sweet body shot that renders the Mexican crawling on the canvas. Mickey Ward had been brought into this fight as a stepping stone with no chance to win, and the commentators (Jones, Merchant, and Lederman) were shoveling ridicule on him.
Skip to 6:10 to get straight to the body shots.

But Johanssen lost the title back to Paterson the following year and then there wasn't another white heavyweight champ for 23 years until Gerrie Coetzee won it in 1983.
