I think Lampley said GGG still has the highest KO ratio among active champions which is not true anymore, Wilder is the new #1 with a KO ratio of 96.97% compared to GGG's 90.63%. Not that it's a big deal but let's be accurate.
LOL @ Wilder! He has a high KO ratio against C level opposition & most of those were ancient! At B+ level & championship level he hasn't knocked anyone out! Even that guy that was stopped by C level bum Demetrice King! Stiverne is a blob who had one decent but unspectacular opponent! Arreola sloth from the Goonies... Who was B level himself! Anyone with half a punch can KO the Harrison's & 38 year old Liakoviches of this world.. Wilder has probably the worst opposition resume of a champion in all of boxing! As soon as he stepped up the KO run ended...
Wilder is a titlist who has Wlad, the champion, calling him out.
GGG has been the recognized #1 since Martinez openly ducked him, and now Cotto as well. The situations are clearly 180 degrees apart.
Of course GGG is seen by most people as the best in his division, unlike Wilder, but technically they're both reigning champions.
Anybody who has a title is a reigning champion, Wilder has one title just like GGG.

He said reigning champion. Wilder clearly is not a reigning champion.

Well obviously Wilder has the highest KO ratio of all time as well as the highest KO speed because nobody has ever wasted that many opponents within so few rounds ever before.
Of course, we DO have to adjust his performance to the truth and consider bums and non-bums when making a proper assessment.
If you delete all mathematical bums off all boxers records (those that have lost more than a quarter of their fights) and greens with less than a dozen fights, then it becomes clear that Wilder is a hard puncher and finisher and fast starter but nothing particularly special.
His fight with sickened Stiverne completely exposed his power, which is now considered "not adequate enough to knock out an iron chin within 12 rounds despite continuous scoring". So yeah it's great against bums mainly but fails at top level.
Lb for Lb, Golovkin is a way better puncher (and boxer) by far.
All this ratio sh*t is garbage both guys have plenty of career left in em . Talk about that when they retire and theres a real body of work to look at then i'll be impressed.

As a champion wilder hasn't knock anyone out so he doesn't count he won his tittle the UD and hasn't defended yet
I think Lampley meant out of real world champions, not some paper belt holder.
Well technically GGG is the paper champ, he got elevated from interim to world champ outside of the ring, while Wilder won his title by beating a champ.
Of course I think GGG is the best in his division and much better than Wilder P4P.
I think there talking about championship fights aren't they? Wilder has only had one championship fight.
which he's not........he just through out a flat percentage.

If that's the case, there must be a number of champs with a 100% KO ratio with just one or two championship fights.
