    All true, though Tyson also had very early stoppages over several of the top heavyweight contenders of his era (including a couple reigning champions/beltholders). And for the record, with respect to freakish punching power, I think consistently getting rid of ham-and-eggers in the very first round is a very different thing than stopping them in the third or fourth round.

    26. If you include exhibitions which were like fights back then, over 60! That's right 60!
