message: (As in "when James Butler cold-cocked Richard Grant...") It's no more self-explanatory than "sucker punch."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.179.92 (talk) 06:25, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I came here to ask the exact same question. I looked it up and found it means "to knock unconscious", and it's slang, so I'll change it. Maybe the whole thing needs a rewrite, we don't really need to be told punching people unconscious is against the law when it's not part of a boxing match. 87.80.97.137 (talk) 07:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does "cold-cocked" mean? 

message: "A sucker punch thrown outside of the rules of boxing is illegal." Aargh. I suppose I could look all of this up and fix it, but what does this sentence mean exactly? Is there such a thing as a sucker punch thrown "inside" the rules of boxing, i.e. in boxing, is a sucker punch only illegal, or can one be delivered legally also? (And if so, under what conditions?)
Maybe this sentence should read, "In boxing, the sucker punch is illegal."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.155.179.92 (talk) 23:05, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ever seen Million Dollar Baby where Hillary Swank gets punched while she's not looking? The other woman she's fighting punches her in the side of the head, off guard. As a result, Hillary falls to the ground, hits her neck on a stool and is paralyzed for life. I don't think sucker punches are illegal while the round is in progress (Can you imagine? "Hey, watch out, I'm going to punch you! Here it comes!" lawl.) but is illegal between rounds or when the fighters are forbidden from hitting each other. Should go without saying, but clarification is good :B Grayda (talk) 23:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ambiguity re... 

message: does a "snooki punch" and "k.o." belong here as well? and re illegal outside of boxing, isn't just about everything in boxing illegal outside of it and becomes assault, aggravated assault etc? 110.33.247.71 (talk) 02:40, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  KO? 

message: I submit that all punches are one hit punches. It is impossible to two-hit punch unless you are Bruce Lee, or equally a ninja master. Further, king hit's inclusion is a bit of a contentious issue. Not for the reason existing editors thing. The media, especially in Australia, like to make the news instead of reporting the news. They've decided that 'king hit' including the word 'king' might glorify the action and 'coward punch' sounds more negatively in intonation. I would argue that coward punch most probably never existed prior to this attempt by the media to invent new words, as they invented 'leadership spill' to replace the word 'coup d'etat' when the Australian government had a coup. I argue that it's inclusion is erroneous. Further, king hit is a hit occasioning a knock out with one blow. It doesn't inherently mean 'from behind.' This should be stipulated that the Australian slang version has adapted to include sucker punches. So in brief, the article appears to be up to speed, but the content is heavily misguided by media misappropriation of 'making the news not reporting the news' where the media intentionally set out to manipulate information, as the Society of Professional Journalists did to clean up the image of religious nuts in Diversity Guidelines for Countering Racial, Ethnic and Religious Profiling https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Sucker_punch&action=edit§ion=new and other such endeavors. I believe that Wikipedia should focus on encyclopedic quality, not journalistic quality articles, as the latters bar is far, far too low when it comes to integrity, honesty, and facts. 121.211.56.55 (talk) 00:09, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
