    Say maybe within the first two or three rounds or so, before their opponents had been worn down or fatigued.

    Gerald McClellan is the first who came to mind for me. Who else makes the list?

    Also, who do you guys think had the most impressive roster of early-round-ko victims?

    (Mike Tyson is probably my first pick)

    Tyson is probably the best early fight finisher ever.

    I think Tyson held the record for the most 1st round KO`s, 21 at one point I don`t know if he got any more than that eventually.

    Julian Jackson is another one of the usual suspects. Joe Louis had heaps.

    Shannon Briggs has 37 1st-round wins... more than any other champion.

    Tua and Ibeabuchi each ended more than half of their fights within 3 rounds (I think)
