    I have seen some amazing 1-punch ko's, from guys like Arguello, Hearns, Tyson, and Marciano, but I don't have a clear idea of who would have had the highest ratio of single-punch knockouts in their career.

    Any ideas?

    I'll be courteous and post for Pugilist/TFFP/China_Hand_Joe/Cuchulain/Smiffy/any other of that mob:
    The answer to this question is Joe Calzaghe, the reasons being he made 21 successful WBO title defences, won amateur titles, fought in front of huge crowds in Cardiff, is the greatest fighter of the last 25 years, made 21 successful WBO title defences, is pound-for-pound the best defensive boxer in the world, combines speed and power better than any other fighter in history, made 21 successful WBO title defences, still has that zero...


    OK, now we've got that pile of bollocks out of the way, who do you guys think has the highest single-hit KO ratio in history?

    I think Sugar Ray Robinson was a great single-shotter. Wilfredo Gomez and Carlos Zarate too. But I can't think of many specific examples of their KOs. Tyson v Botha was a quality shot.

    Guys like Joe Louis and Bob Foster would have had more if they stopped punching after the Q landed, but they were natural combo bombers. Couldn't help themselves.

    It will be one of the older guys trust me, something like pre 20's where clean KO's were a more regular occurance.

    George Foreman did quite a lot of these in his day, the Michael Moorer one was superb.

    David Haye has insane one punch KO power too.

    No he didn't, Moorer is the only quality fighter he ever knocked out with one punch.

    Pretty much in every Foreman fight that guy was clubbed down numerous times before it was stopped, not a one punch KO.
