Why no KOs?

[Adonis Creed]

Every couple months a big fight comes like the one last night and it gets hype about one guy knocking out the other. But very very rarely does it happen.

This is why fighters like Ggg, Spence, Joshua,and Wilder are important.

What HUGE fights from the past couple years have actually ended in kos?

I'm talking about real top fights like Degale-Jack or Crawford -Postol none of those fights are really big fights except for ggg-brook or khan-canelo which were mismatches.


Also lol if that's the best list you could give me.

[i love boxing]

The higher level opponents you face the less likely a ko is.

Exactly right.

I'm really sick of wannabe boxing "fans" where all they want to see is knockouts. Then they get knockouts and they're like "oh but those aren't top fights doe".

Then proceeds to call out Badou Jack vs James DeGale as a top fight. LMAO

It's not the 90's anymore. They've cracked down on steroids. You are HIGHLY unlikely to see knockouts at the upper tier now. Which means you either (A) learn to appreciate the sweet science, (B) learn to live with the midcard where the knockouts happen regularly, or (C) switch to MMA where even they struggle to knock people out.

WIlder went 12 rounds in the biggest fight of his career.

Spence is only just fight a world title holder.

When the very top fighters in the division fight it is rare to have KO's. The 4 four guys you have mentioned haven't really been fighting or able to fight the very best in their divisions.

Like if Wilder and Joshua were to fight there wont likely be a KO finish because both will have so much respect for each others power and skill and therefore be extra cautious.

Spence is about to fight his first real top opponent in Brook and I'd be surprised if he KO's Brook. Beat Brook sure he has the skills to do so but I/d be surprised if he stops Brook like he/s been doing to everyone.

GGG has been avoided by the very best in the division so yeah..

Also you have to take into the styles when two top fighters fight.

Why do you seem butthurt? I appreciate boxing skills and all that but it would be nice to see big time fights end in kos every once in a while.

You're saying it was steroids when Ray Leonard stopped guys or Hearn stopped guys.

You saying Degale-Jack wasn't the two to SMWs?

These guys should be able to get some kos especially when you dominate like Crawford.

I mean it happened in the past when top guys would fight now they rarely fight and when they do they don't ko each other.
