Wladimir Klitschko now has 50 knockout victories. That is tied for 7th of all heavyweight champions, ever. I think this is the list EPIX just put up (the graphic was only up for a few moments): 1. Carnera 69 2. Foreman 68 3. Shavers 67 4. Ezzard Charles 58 5. Louis 54 6. Baer 52 7. W. Klitschko (tied with Dempsey) 50 8. Tyson 44 9. Marciano 43 10. Liston 39 Nah, that list ain't right. Rahman has 41 (and counting :-D). Page, Tucker - both in the forties... Klitschko also now has 15 knockout wins in world heavyweight title bouts, which is fourth all time behind Louis, Holmes, and Lewis (who all have twenty-something). His older brother has 11. source: IB :deal
Kind of a pointless statistic imo, you can fight the mormecks of the world or bums like big george in his second career and get these ko's pretty quikly. It looks cool but the 15 in titlefights is better.
His devastating KO over Tyson 2.0 really proves Wlad is in the same league as the like of Dempsey and Foreman.
