Murderers' Row refers to a group of middleweight boxing contenders in the United States competing in the 1940s, primarily of African-American background. Renowned for their toughness and great boxing ability, they were feared throughout the boxing world and never received a shot at the world title. According to boxing pundit Jim Murray, they were “the most exclusive men’s club the ring has ever known. They were so good and so feared that they had to have their own tournament”.

Fighters recognized under the Murderers’ Row banner include Charley Burley, Lloyd Marshall, Holman Williams, Herbert "Cocoa Kid" Lewis Hardwick, Jack Chase, Eddie Booker, Aaron Wade, and Bert Lytell. Avoided by many of the famous names of the day, the eight Murderers’ Row fighters faced each other a total of 62 times, the fights often classics and gruelling contests

We have selected just twenty favourites from the best and most memorable opening rounds in boxing but there are plenty of others that did no

We have selected just twenty favourites from the best and most memorable opening rounds in boxing but there are plenty of others that did not make the cut. Fights like Amir Khan’s first-round knockout defeat against Breidis Prescott in 2008, Roy Jones Jr’s “Unfinished Business” against Montell Griffin in 1997, and even one of the most significant fights in British boxing history, when George Groves floored Carl Froch in the first round of their first meeting. That’s just three fights that didn’t make it to our final 20 opening rounds, but we’re sure to have missed a good few, however, these are our favourites, and we hope you enjoy them.
