I calculated the heavyweight with the biggest KO to stoppage ratio in modern boxing

[Pugilist89]

Anybody want to take a crack at who it was? Meaning most KO wins out of all stoppages.

[juggernaut666]

Mahkmudov .

[famicommander]

Shannon Briggs?

There's surely a bunch of HW fighters currently out there with 1 fight, 1 win, and it's by KO.

Shannon Briggs?

No but I made sure to look him up.

Okey, famous HW gatekeeper or higher. Modern boxing (same glove size (s) as today).

Mahkmudov .

He only has two kos out of 14 stoppages.

THe winner....

Bob Satterfeild won by KO in an incredible 29 out of 35 stoppages for a knockout to stoppage ratio of 82%

I am guessing they raised the glove size limit after or towards the end of his carrier though..

We also have Cleveland Williams 43 out of 62 =69% KO to stoppage ratio

Gerry Cooney 15 out of 24 - 62%

[Pugilist89]

Based on my scrutiny of KO artists, anything around 40% is "good or decent".

Deontay Wilder has 20 KOs out of 41 stoppages for a KO to stoppage ratio of 48%.

Rocky Marciano 23 out of 43 - 53%
Shannon Briggs 23 out of 43%

Samuel peter 10 out of 31 32%

Mike Tyson 15 out 44 34% -- suprisingly weakish.
