Julian "The Hawk" Jackson Extended Highlights & KO Ratio Comparisons

I assume you've got the knock out percentages from Boxrec, which represent the percentage of wins, not fights, won by knockout. I.e. Zarate's 63 stoppage wins in 70 fights represents a 90% KO rate. Of the fights he won, 95% were by stoppage.

Jimmy Wilde's 98 KO wins in 142 fights are remarkable given he was a minimumweight by modern standards often fighting much bigger men.

Edwin Valero won all 27 of his fights by KO.

Naseem Hamed won 31 of his 37 fights by stoppage.

 

Gomez’ 32 fight KO streak is notable, and he maintained his high KO percentage during a lengthy reign at 122.

KO percentages tend to drop off at world level, even for devastating punchers. Gomez kept knocking people out until he moved up on weight.

 

John Mugabi was 25-0 all ko's at one point in his career.
Retired with 42 wins, 39 ko's 7-8 losses if I'm
remembering right.
very impressive ko percentage.

 

Underrated because of overrated hype.

 

Ricardo Moreno had 60 wins with 59 of them by KO but the guys he stopped weren't all that great. The best guys he fought he lost to.

 

Beterbiev is 26-0 with 25 ko. That said, while he obviously punches very hard, I don't think he has that sort of touch of death that some boxers have in their hands. The closest guy to that in recent years was probably a dude like Lemieux. Guys dropped like they'd been shotgunned when he landed flush. Unfortunately his boxing skills were not on par to his power.

 

Yori Boy Campas had a record of 56-0, 50 KOs going into his fight with Felix Trinidad.

 

I don’t recall any fights where Campas got decked but I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t ever put on the canvas. That guy was such a tough hombre.

I’ll have to check out that fight you mentioned! Campas has never been in a boring fight. His fight with John Duddy is another spectacular scrap he was in.

 

Antonio Esparragoza
30-2, 27 KOs. 90% KO ratio

 

Do you know how nerve racking it must’ve been to be a rampaging “Bazooka” Gomez victim? Looking at his record and being a late title defence would feel like the walk to the electric chair not the ring… you’re not coming out unchanged by the experience and he’s been partying for weeks, you’re here to flip the bill. Whatever I think of his skills he hurt people badly.
