on one level "i knocked" would be sort of badass, but on another level it's pretty cheesy. almost too gimmicky, a line trying too hard to reference something in a clever, winking way. then you're gonna have a section of viewers who will watch it and have no clue what he's talking about, and to them it's going to just seem odd. "i won" is simple and effective, it resonates without seeming like it's trying to, and it's a better expression of walt's feelings at the moment. he was basically in a game of real life battle chess and came out victorious. he is overwhelmed with that charlie sheen feeling. so i think "i won" is better
