    If you give me time I can collect the data.

    But Lewis is probably the best heavyweight ever.

    Clark only really did KO bums.

    Just like Edwin Valero.

    Shavers never KOed anyone worth a crap. He stopped Young and that is as good as it gets. If Shavers had legit Savage power he would have KOed some of the better fighters he fought. He didn't.

    Hence his 47% KO ratio against 215lbs+ opponents.

    :patsch

    I'm an advocate of constructivism. So by all means go ahead, educate yourself. I would advise branching out from BoxRec a little though.

    patterson was a ko artist, he has some devastating ko's. the one vs archie moore where he lifts him of his feel with a gazzele punch is amazing.

    In all fairness this is true. All the fighters who talked about how hard he could punch, all survived that nasty right hand of his, and beat him. That's what the Shavers nuthuggers always seem to forget. Am I saying Shavers wasn't a hard puncher? No of course not, the dude hit like a mother****er. But this whole notion of him being able to KO a friggin rhino/godzilla has to stop please, because it is seriously getting annoying now.

    Lennox Lewis dodged southpaws.

    I still think he's the greatest, but he didn't want to fight them.
    for a guy with skill like Lewis, southpaws are intimidating because nobody has much experience with them.

    i was 100% sure about Briggs, only 95% about Golota. yep, over hyped big punchers when up against over matched opponents. :good

    Golota has a nice 65% (rounded) KO ratio.
    Without the 2 DQ losses it is 67%.

    He wasn't a bum, certainly not an elite like Lewis either.

    65% KO ratio doesnt mean **** when all the guys he koed werent worth ****.
    Lamar Clark had a 100% KO ratio when he faced Ali and Ali stopped him in one, Clark just like Golota only koed bums and cab drivers.
