Boxing is beloved by millions for its unpredictability. A fight that looks to be going one way can be turned on its head in an instant by one big knockout blow. And there is no weight class where this is more prevalent than the heavyweight division.
Boxing's big men have served up several vicious stoppages over the years. Here, talkSPORT.com runs down six of the best.
.. Mike Tyson could, in his own right, fill this entire list.
The heavyweight boxing icon is, after all, no stranger to a knockout. But the pick of the bunch in our opinion is his 91-second demolition job of Michael Spinks. Moments before the fight, Spinks' manager Butch Lewis claimed Tyson had punched holes in the wall of his changing room.
He then proceeded to flatten the former undisputed light heavyweight champion with a right uppercut that sent Spinks plummeting to the canvas. In doing so, Tyson - then the undisputed heavyweight king - erased all doubt over who the true champion was in the glamour division by snatching the lineal and Ring Magazine belts from Spinks, who had won the titles by beating Larry Holmes in 1985. Deontay Wilder is widely considered to be the hardest-hitting heavyweight of the modern era - and for good reason.
During a 48-fight career (43-4-1), which doesn't appear to be over just yet, Wilder has finished 42 of his 43 wins inside the distance. The only man to survive to see the final bell and lose to 'The Bronze Bomber' is Bermane Stiverne, who dropped the WBC title to Wilder via unan.
