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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

CompuBox details an all-time for the most knockout victories by a heavyweight champion. If Wladimir Klitschko retains the WBO/IBO/WBA/IBF titles by knocking out challenger Jean Marc Mormeck later today in Germany, he will pass Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey, two of the all-time greats, and move into #5 position all time for most KO’s by a heavyweight champ.

Impressive indeed, but no one knocked them out like Tyson and Louis.

btw this statistic really doesnt mean too much when you look at the first 2 spots: Carnera's fights were mostly fixed and Foreman fought only bums in his 2nd career before he fought Moorer.
but hey, its a nice, interesting list nevertheless

As if the other guys on the list didnt fight bums also.

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.

Jack Dempsey has 50 KO wins.

edit: Joe Louis has 52

Missing marciano

With good reason, he had 43 credited KO's. 3 of the first 5 were against fighters a bit less than 175, and there was contemporary speculation that some of his early fights were fixed. Wasn't he supposed to have fought his brother-in-law under a couple of assumed names?

I just don't like Marciano, but maybe I was very put off by reading his interview in Ring that he was feeling great, still learning and would be fighting for a good few years yet, etc.... and then about 7-10 days later, seeing the announcement that he had just retired that day. In between, Floyd Patterson, who officially went up to heavyweight in his next fight, had been knocking everyone over like ninepins and had just won another fight. Marciano was 32, just in his "prime".

Jack Dempsey has 50 KO wins.

edit: Joe Louis has 52

Good catch. If Klit gets a knockout he will only tie Dempsey, and will still be behind the Brown Bomber.
