    Who ended a bout as quick as possible?

    Who´s your #1 nightmare for the Moorer/Norton/Seldon/Patterson/Shavers type chins?
    Who´s your alltime HW King of KOs/TKOs?

    Joe Louis #1 finisher, for me it's not remotely close.

    Prime Tyson's Speed and Power. Short window but flat out jaw dropping.

    In the age of TV it's a toss up between Tyson and Lewis.

    Tyson has more, his were faster, and he had an overall more viscous fighting style, but Lennox has some extremely brutal KOs in his own right, often times overlooked, but I would say Lennox was a tad bit more accurate setting up brutal KO than Tyson....either way its subjective, some people will no doubt favor Tyson

    I would put Forman a good peg or two below these guys. He definitely had power but I think of him more clubbing guys into submission rather than landing those pinpoint bombs that Lewis would put on guys

    Tyson. He was ferocious in his prime. Massive one hit power that he could deliver with either hand, freakish speed and savagery, tremendous mental and physical pressure, underrated defence and iron chin. Not only one of the hardest one punch punchers in the history of the HW division, but one of the best combination punchers as well. Louis had the combinations, Wlad and Lennox had the one punch power, Frazier had the savagery but no one else had that kind of mix all in one.

    Do u really see Tillis Tucker and Smith going the distance with any other great KO artist? I dont. **** ordinary Withertits took out Tillis in 1 in 1983.

    You have to go with Tyson and Louis here. If we’re talking about modern day fighters I’d pick AJ

    I think it comes down to only two.
    Joe Louis for me followed closely by Mike Tyson.

    George Foreman by a mile, but I also love the recklessness and one-shot-could-end-it-at-any-time stylings of Shavers.

    Really appreciate the unconsciousness-bringing power of Wilder, and Joe Louis was the ultimate combination ko king imo.

    The fat, out of shape and over the hill Tucker went the distance with the unbeaten Lewis.
    Tillis nice… Tyson was only 19 years old and green. What's your next outcome ? A 2 years old Tyson ?
    Say a 19 years old heavyweight fighter who could destroy a skilled Tillis quality fighter who was in great shape !

    Dont have to be 19. Thats giving him both inexperience because of age and praise for it. Fact is Withertits took out a better Tillis in 1 in 1983. Holy beat a similar Tillis by stoppage. You are an excuse mongerer.
