Unfortunately.. I am from the school of thought.. That people before the year 2000.. were NOT made of IRON.. They were infact.. made of Flesh and Bone... They Could not hit any harder nor take a hit any better than anyone else...
This bull**** about the past being so awesome is tiring.. especially when I am being told it by people who werent even alive.. or still playing with their GI Joes..

im fast coming to the conclusion that your a ****ing idiot. nobody is saying that people before 2000 were made of iron, i do not understand your point??? your theory about math and stats is flawed in as much as you could take a heavyweight, pit him against featherweights his entire career and he'd have a 100% knockout ratio, thus making him the best knockout artist based on your theory. what im saying is that your competition is relevant, because if your knocking out high class guys then that makes you a better exponent of the knockout shot than somebody beating up on bums

Well, I'll tell you guys this...

I won't take sides.. but you're both right in a way..

Math is math and facts are facts...


So here are the facts now.

Fighters that only "HE" was able to Knock Out!

Tyson: Holmes and Spinks
Foreman: Frazier and I think we can throw Chuvalo into this, who was only KOed by Foreman and Frazier
Wlad Klitschko: Brock, Brewster, I think we can also throw in McCline, who broke his foot against Valuev and couldn't get up and was only kayoed in his second pro fights.


So the level of KOed opposition does play a role

But here is something that will contradict that very same logic:

It took the balloon-middleweight Toney only 9 rounds to do what the biggest hitters Foreman, Lewis, Tyson, and Holmes could not do in 63 rounds and that it to KO Holyfield.

So you can't go by names and resumes...

and the only thing we can do is do the math like Welter did in the first place... and if so.. Vitali's is the greatest KO artist in the history of HW Champions

Shavers probably had the most power on that list, but he was a sloppy finisher at times. Take Holmes vs Shavers 2, Holmes was completely gone and he couldn't finish because he was too wild. Im not massive Tyson fan but if Tyson got you in trouble you were finished straight away, he picked his punches better than Shavers by using combinations and going to the body and head.

fcuk!

all my research and the thread is dead

[Burning Desire]

At this point you are correct... Shavers was a Better KO artist.. So is Chris Arreala NO arguments here..

Math is Math

Thats ridiculous logic, stats sometimes work in boxing but not in all cases. Buddy Baer had 52 wins, 47 KO's, now stats wise he would be up there. But is he considered by boxing experts or any knowledgeable boxing fans to be anywhere close to the best KO artist in Heavyweight history ?? no he isn't. You have to take into account how they finished there opponents, the opposition, ETC.

Oh and i suppose Mac Foster is best Heavyweight KO artist of all time because he has 30 wins, 30 KO's right ??

[flat1985]

I would have to say tyson

[guantes123]

I think Julian The Hawk Jackson should be on this list
