KO% Of The Light Welterweight Boxrec TOP 10

[BennyST]

As Jreckoning said, these types of figures are funny in that they really don't tell the true story.

Let me ask you this? Who would least like to be caught with a left hook or straight right by? The guy I would least like to be hit by there is one with nearly the least % in Kendall Holt.

The other would be Khan. Holt has probably the most single punch power out of those guys from what I've seen. When he does hit you flush, it's bad.

Don't really understand this topic to be honest. What's the significance?

Light welterweights with high KO percentage... means Bradley is featherfisted..

[£-4-£]

Maidana has fought more bums than Khan. Maidana's only stand-out victory is against Ortiz, in which he got knocked down no less than 3 times!! And Ortiz isn't even on that top 10 list, in fact BoxRec has him rated as 25th in the world and he has a KO ratio of 70%, which is similar to Khan's (69%). Plus Khan is the fastest 140lb fighter around so as long as Khan's defence holds up, he wins by late KO or UD.

This proves Amir Khan is legend.

Hatton was 23-0 (18) .......... 23 fights in wheras Khan is 22-1 (16)

Ricky was a bigger and better legend and always will be in my book.

Interesting stats, according to Boxrec, check it:

KO% of the "top ten" light welterweights:

1. Marcos Rene Maidana 92.86
2. Amir Khan 69.57
3. Ricky Hatton 68.09
4. Juan Urango 68
5. Devon Alexander 63.16
6. Nate Campbell 62.5
7. Joel Casamayor 52.38
8. Kendall Holt 46.43
9. Juan Diaz 45.95
10. Timothy Bradley 44

Maidana's incredibly high KO percentage and WBO champion Timothy Bradley falling at the bottom of the list are perhaps the most noteworthy stats, along with Khan coming in at number 2.

Hatton's KO% trumps everyone's on that list because he has twice as many fights as almost anyone on there.
