    Because it’s a fantasy.

    A fantasy stipulated to be a pro fight.

    It’s not stipulated. You made that up.

    Well for future reference, the most KOs in history is accredited to Billy Bird a UK fighter who fought from 1928 onwards, 138 is his tally, so 5 ahead of Moore, just in case you are in a pub quiz and the winners prize is £10K !! I am in for a cut ;).
    stay safe buddy.

    TY for the info, an earlier poster said there's actually 3 fighters that are considered to have the most KOs, but it doesn't really matter, Moore could be #3, no difference to my point.

    Take good care.

    Imagine what Marciano would do to Arthur's opponents and you have your answer.

    About the same as what Beterbiev did or slightly worse?

    It's implied. Heavily.

    So we agree that it’s not stipulated and that you made that up.

    Beterbiev competed as a HW in the ams, so I don't think he's smaller than Rocky, especially if he doesn't have to make weight.

    It's reasonable to assume that a fantasy fight an OP asks for predictions for on here is under pro conditions, unless specified otherwise.

    Can Beterbiev beat anyone remotely good first before comparing him to a top five heavy ever? How does he do against Foreman or Ali? Maybe Frazier? To me the question is just as ridiculous even though Marciano was the smallest amongst them. Marciano has earned his spot in history. Maybe let others do the same?

    If you seek it out, you will find a video in which Beterbiev nails Usyk with a left hook to the liver, forcing Usyk to take a knee.
