Greatest puncher of all time?

[RubenSonny]

Good calls all round, Langfords power just seemed unreal to me, I can't get my mindaround someone carrying legitimate knockout power from lightweight to heavyweight.

I don't have access to a list, but I do know that Sandy Saddler had over 100 KO's. Moore, Langford, and Saddler are the only ones I can think of with over 100.

131 Archie Moore - Bouts 220 - KO% 59.55
129 Sam Langford - Bouts 316 - KO% 40.82
127 Young Stribling - Bouts 289 KO% 43.94
124 Billy Bird - Bouts 328 - KO% 37.8
120 Buck Smith - Bouts 226 - KO% 53.1
110 George Odwell - Bouts 207 - KO% 53.14
108 Alabama Kid - Bouts 261 KO% 41.38
108 Sugar Ray Robinson - Bouts 200 - KO% 54.0
103 Sandy Saddler - Bouts 162 - KO% 63.58
101 Henry Armstrong - Bouts 180 - KO% 56.11
100 Jimmy Wilde - Bouts 153 KO% 65.36

The way the fight game is run nowadays, you are looking almost certainly at the only eleven men in history who will ever own membership to the exclusive Triple-Figures KO Club, meaning Moore will likely hold the record until the sport exhales its last breath. Sobering thought.

You'll be lucky if any more fighters have triple figure fights.

How true!

Looks as if Chavez was the last of the great ones to do so...

Thanks for posting this. It is an interesting mix of ATG's and the totally obscure. Stribling is the only one who seems to fall in between.

after joe louis there are the langfords, dempseys, robinsons, ketchels of this world. louis was tops for me as a hitter- great jab, combos, speed, acuracy, timing, and incredible short power.
