Best knockout Artist in history?

Julian Jackson for single shots, Hearns for terrifying combinations with power.

More heavy-handed accumulation though - whilst up until Bivol he was 100% KO, they were more stoppages than highlight reel Kos IIRC

 

Wilder in 2019 would have KO'd any man in history if he landed that right hand clean.

 

It’s a shame we didn’t get the fights we wanted, like against AJ, at that time.

 

Mugabi

 

I believe that sneaky lead hook of his could at the very least drop anyone in history. KO most.

 

Louis, Foreman, Hearns, Zarate, Olivares, Tyson, GGG, Jackson

 

Yeah, if only he knocked out the killers row someone like Earnie Shavers did before he lost to every fighter he fought with a half decent ranking, he’d get the respect he deserves…………..

I can't believe this guy hasn't had a mention yet.


Edit- I see @Mike Cannon mentioned Bob earlier but he deserves more love. He was a killer.

 

No he doesn’t, there’s actually zero evidence that Wilder had serious KO power at the top level, so he doesn’t get a mention with those who did/do.
I know you recognised his limitations but they’re hugely relevant here otherwise the list of fighters who could KO a tomato can with no ambition and even less will to get up once knocked down would be endless

 

Julian Jackson
Ernie Shavers
George Foreman
Wilder (not so much an artist but put people out)
Rocky Marciano
