    hmm may be they are at the top 100 best boxers but not on the top 10


    based on the top 10.com

    all of the boxers in the top ten are all KO kings!

    ali
    pacman
    rocky
    tyson
    chavez
    sugarray robinsin
    roy jones
    joe luis
    salvador sanches
    trinidad

    now what? is KO important in a boxers career?

    KO's can help sell you as a fighter to the general public. The casuals who LOVE a mean KO. They are NOT a criteria of greatness.

    Trinidad? Salvador Sanchez? Rocky Marciano? Tyson? Top 10?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Kid, I'll give you a pass because you seem like your very young, but you obviously need to read up and study some history before trying to make arguments. Otherwise you will continue to sound like you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

    The point of boxing is to win; to hit and not be hit. You can rack up a lot of KO's, but that isn't not the determinant of one's particularly greatness. If that was the case, Big George Foreman would have been rated waaaaayyyyyy above Muhammad Ali in terms of P4P. What you're trying to argue (heavily correlating KO % with P4P status) makes no sense. That's the boxing equivalent of me saying that Dominique Wilkens was better than Larry Bird because he had much more dunks and highlights.

    KO's are like icing on the cake. A fighter's skill set, abilites, experience, resume and intangibles are the actual ingredients for building that cake.

    I agree with the guy who says PBF's just overhyped. He's a great fighter, I just wished he fought more fighters who are in his natural weight class.

    Ko's dont make you great nor do they make you p4p. Ko' for damn sure dont make you an ATG. The list you posted is absolute **** the fact that you posted it speaks volumes.

    :-(

    ^^^ honestly im not impressed! like many people says hes overhyped. son of mayweather senior, undefeated etc.. the punches are not solid. look what pacman did to hatton! hatton was not yet tired when he caught him he cant even stand for 3min! but hatton was really exhausted when PB caught him. anyway PBF is still a talented boxer i just hate him when runs like a chicken inside the ring.
