    George Foreman has 68 KOs in 77 wins, only 5 losses (1 by KO)... and he was a 2x HW Champ. Anybody can KO a bunch of bums!

    Foreman has 15 1st round KOs and 19 2nd round KOs BTW. Some of those KOs were against notable fighters and even a couple of Hall of Famers. Guys like Boone Kirkman, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Bert Cooper, Gerry Cooney, and Adilson Rodrigues.

    Lamar Clark was destroyed by the first half decent fighter he faced as was Billy Fox. Power? Yes, but if you only KO bums... so what?

    Foreman was the man IMO!

    slightly over 88% for Foreman... Tyson's is exactly 88%

    these guys knocked out good fighters early

    I can't imagine any other fighter playing yo-yo with Joe Frazier like George Foreman did.
