    If you go by BoxRec and count only official decisions, not newspaper decisions, Ezzard Charles had the most with 25, followed by Braddock with 24. If you count newspaper decisions, Braddock had 2 more, making it 26.

    If you go by the Ring Record Book, both have 25. If you go by the Boxing Register International Boxing Hall of Fame Official Record Book, Charles has 25 and Braddock has 23.
