Comments Thread For: All-Time List: Most Career KOs By a Heavyweight Champ

[nomadman]

Any list that has Primo Carnera on top isn't a list I'd particularly care to be ranked on.

[Jack Napier]

Meaningless. Hasim Rahman has 41 KOs - great - but how many of those did he get as Champion?

KOs in sanctioned title fights would be of more interest.

this
think Tunney had it on his sig before
every fighter has some nobodies on his resume early on
KO's in the title matches tell the story

[GoogleMe]

Such a meaningless list. I'd like to see how many KO's they had while they were champions or in championship fights???

[jbpanama]

I was really rooting for The Mongoose, in the Rock's finale....
Moore's only Demand was 6 ounce gloves!!!
Edgarg, I think your right seeing Patterson coming, the Rock,
made his EXIT!!!

Fake list

Where the f is rocky Marciano and his 43 ko's. Some list by compubox so called experts what a joke

[thuggishruggish]

David Tua has 43 Knockouts to

[BennyST]

David Tua has 43 Knockouts to

He was never a champion.

[Capaedia]

Most of Ezzard Charles' knockouts were not at heavyweight. I don't see why he should be on the list

[rossle]

Iv just gone through boxrec to see what their ko's were while actually a defending heavyweight world champ. It looks more like this!

1. Primo Carnera -- 0
2. George Foreman -- 2
3. Ezzard Charles -- 4
4. Max Baer -- 0
5. (tie) Wladimir Klitschko -- 11
5. (tie) Joe Louis -- 22
5. (tie) Jack Dempsey -- 4
8. Greg Page -- 2
9. Tony Tucker -- 0
10. Shannon Briggs -- 0
11. (tie)* Mike Tyson -- 8
11. (tie) Larry Holmes -- 16
13. Herbie Hide -- 2
14. Tommy Morrison -- 1
15. Hasim Rahman -- 0
16. (tie) Vitali Klitschko -- 6
16. (tie) Michael Moorer – 1

Also, where was Lewis?

A realistic top 5 of defending heavyweight champ ko wins is.

Louis, 22
Holmes, 16
W Klitschko, 11
Tyson, 8
V Klitschko and Lewis, 6
