Vitali Klitschko has the highest KO % in HW history

[Meow]

Discuss this aspect of his dominance.

[Boom1989]

If David Haye fought Audley Harrison 100 times, he would have another 100 stoppage wins on his resume. It's always about context.

Pure dominance! It is funny how haters stubbornly exclude Vitali from top punchers lists.

[Cinderella Man]

Let's compare Big Klit to another heavyweight boxer, who truly did never lose, unlike Vit Klit.


Vitali Klitschko: 45-2-0, 41 KO

41 / 47 x 100 = 87,23% KO Percentage


Rocky Marciano: 49-0-0, 43 KO

43 / 49 x 100 = 87,76% KO Percentage


Just like when Lennox was still boxing, looks like Big Klit will have to settle for second place again :(

[orriray59]

Deontay Wilder has higher.

Irrefutable proof that KO% means fuck all.

really? wasn't it Vitaly who wanted a rematch and Lennox who wanted an early retirement?
Doesn't sound like a second place to me. Lewis was planning to fight Tyson, RJJ and Johnson, but when he was forced into the rematch he decided to retire. That doesn't sound like a leader of the division. More like a coward who just ran off.

Both losses were by KO. 43 / 47 x 100 = 91,49%

TKO6 is a paper record. Everyone knows Vitali was robbed in that fight.

We are talking about heavyweights here. Marciano was fighting cruiserweights.

He does have a great KO percentage mainly over sub par opposition like Danny Williams who was never better than Euro level or Chisora

The fact is that despite having a great KO rate Vitali lost his two big fights.

Bryd RTD 9 - yes i know its a bad injury but he still quit

and

LEWIS TKO6 - and fuk the rematch he still lost and other than Arreola hasn't beaten anyone decent in years

[stebinn]

He does not have he highest KO percentage anymore...So Thread over..

[Asterion]

He doesn't have the highest KO% anymore.

He used...until 2009 he had more than 92% of KO%.

Vitali is still one of the most dominant heavyweights ever in his fights. Ali and Louis were not so dominant against their A- or B level opponents.

[Beatle]

Vitali's resume is pure shit.
