Usually, if ever, it's prior to them becoming great.
Or sometimes a greater fighter will KTTFO

Lennox, Wlad, Pac, Hearns, Duran, Foreman......

[Silence]

Joe Louis got ****d by a **** defender in his prime.

Anyone can be knocked out but you can better your chances of not being koed. You can have home advantage, so you don't need to chase a fight as you scared of being robbed by judges. As we know if you overly aggressive for whatever reason then you can be like pac v jmm.

lol at resounding.

you didnt give a single example of an in prime bona fide great under 30 fighter getting knocked out clean.

that's on you.

It all depends on the level of opposition so therefore anyone can be knocked out at any time your original thread question never asked for examples

[hugh grant]

I guess George Foreman kind of got knocked out by Ali.

[Honduranboxingfan]

James Toney has never been ko'd in his prime neither GGG

[HeadShots]

Was an example really needed?

The most famous fight in history was arguably the Rumble in the Jungle. That fight featured a 25 year old George Foreman getting knocked out by Muhammad Ali.

I’d expect 99% of hardcore boxing fans to know that.

that was run into the ground exhaustion.


not a lights out KO

the point of this thread is that a KO is not a likely event against a prime 20's great fighter. the odds are like 1/100. You can name some great fighters who were sparked.......... but vast, VAST majority were not sparked in their 20's.


You can name A LOT of them getting sparked in their 30's however. this seems to be a massive difference between one's 20's and 30's. your ability to take a punch vastly deteriorates
