Tyson, Foreman, Ali, Pacquiao: 50 greatest KOs in boxing ranked

Deontay Wilder gave us a timely reminder of why we love boxing when he knocked out Robert Helenius last weekend.

The American KO artist once again showed off his brutal power as he finished Helenius off in style.

So, with Wilder bringing the KO back into fashion, we thought we would jump right on the bandwagon.

There isn’t anything better in the world of boxing than a bone-crunching knockout.

Here, Rummy’s Corner has compiled a list of the 50 best to ever happen, with 25 people taking part in the study.
