1) 41% Shane Mosley (20 clean KO's in 49 fights)

2) 35% Ricky Hatton (15 clean KO's in 43 fights)

3) 23% Antonio Margarito (9 clean KO's in 40 fights)

4) 20% Miguel Cotto (6 clean KO's in 30 fights)

5) 19% Zab Judah (8 clean KO's in 42 fights)

6) 15% Kermit Cintron (4 clean KO's in 26 fights)

7) 8% Floyd Mayweather (3 clean KO's in 38 fights)

Cintron's lack of clean knockouts is surprising.

Cintron's lack of clean knockouts is surprising.

does clean knockout mean the dude is counted out, not a stoppage, right? Since fighting ortiz, cintron has fought some amazing chins... Teddy Reid, David Estrada, and mark suarez to name a few. These guys absorbed some HUGE shots in those fights and didnt go down for the count. Still, i am surprised cintron wasnt higher on this list.

It's a decent list you've put together, but boxrec has some flaws when it comes to KO/TKO differentiation.

Mayweather's 4th fight against Edgar Ayala is labeled as a TKO on boxrec, but what happened is Ayala dived in at Floyd, and Floyd lifted his ass up in the air up an uppercut, and he fell unconscious on his back. The referee waved it off with a count.

Referees don't give 10 counts very often anymore if they know the fighter won't make it.

Nice to know dude but it duznt really mean or count for ****, Cintron hits much harder than Hatton for example but has only 15% compared to 35%
**** Addison ur up **** creek without a paddle if Cotto wins! Thats alot of points!

OK.. But this is very inaccurate.. For example.. Would you call Taylor Pavlik.. a Clean KO or a TKO??? I call it a KO... However it's Offical recording is a TKO...Or How about Klitschko VS Brock and Austin.. Both KO's Clean as a Whistle KO's.. AGAIN.. 2 offical TKO's in the books..

I see where you are trying to go with this My friend..
But Sadly your argument is riddled with Flaws due the subjective nature of humanity..

You say Welterweight players KO%....but a lot of those KOs for guys like Mosley and Mayweather were below jr welter

then guys like Hatton and Cotto at jr welter

funny, half of those listed many don't consider natural welterweights but they have all grown to fit welter nicely

HEY! Where in the hell is Paul Williams on this list?

My Thoughts exactly, why do people forget about Paul?? He's a Top 5 welter in my book.
