    Anyone know what the record is and who holds it?

    either for the original title of the old days or one of the 4 main governing bodies. I remember Foreman Ko'd someone in 50 seconds of his 1st defence. Is this the record though?

    Yeah, I think it was Tyson/Michael Spinks. But, I'm not sure. For the linear title anyway.

    Tysons have had several faster than the 50 sec.

    In a title fight?

    Spinks was around half a round.
     
  8. Tyson vs. Spinks was 90 seconds.

    The first to come to my mind was Brewster vs. Golota for the WBO title, 52 seconds. Foreman KO'd a guy in 45 seconds but it wasn't a title fight... His first defense KO1 was 2 minutes.
