    Not sure why OP listed Armstrong since his KO % is higher.

    I'm never sure if those people are trolling or they are plain stupid to be honest. If we take the ring ATG list for example. The top 20 is:

    1. Sugar Ray Robinson
    2. Henry Armstrong
    3. Muhammad Ali
    4. Joe Louis
    5. Roberto Duran
    6. Willie Pep
    7. Harry Greb
    8. Benny Leonard
    9. Sugar Ray Leonard
    10. Pernell Whitaker
    11. Carlos Monzon
    12. Rocky Marciano
    13. Ezzard Charles
    14. Archie Moore
    15. Sandy Saddler
    16. Jack Dempsey
    17. Marvin Hagler
    18. Julio Cesar Chavez
    19. Eder Jofre
    20. Alexis Arguello

    Out of the twenty only the four underlined have less KOs. It doesn't matter in the big picture as greatness is not measured in KO ratio.

    More than half his fights ended in Ko. Not bad for guy who went from featherweight to Jr Middleweight with brittle hands.

    Congratulations, for being able to type that with a straight face. How you could have typed that without being totally embarrassed is beyond me.

    if numbers don't lie what about all the fighters who had more wins than Floyd had fights. Hell some of them such as Archie Moore had about 3x's as many KO's as Floyd had fights.

    Absorb those numbers dumbass. :lol:

    I hate when people say suggest Floyd could have 100s of fights or criticize his number of fights.. Imagine him fighting 60 Bertos or 40 Canelos and the crying would shift to him having 100s of cherry picks.. If most of his career is cherriescherries, he only didn't fight a hand full, and he fought the rest late, how many bums would it take to reach even 100 for him?

    Yeah it was, against a guy that was 6 feet tall and had no business fighting at 130 to begin with.
    The last significant KO he scored was in 2007 with Hatton, he did **** after that for KOs......... Floyd "Foreman" Mayweather. :lol:

    What is a legendary KO and how many people have them? If it's so legendary, it can't be a lot right? You can't hold that against someone...

    Floyd scored more than half of his KOs (14) in the first 17 months of career.

    Of course, he easily KO'd that F-level punching bags.

    After that Floyd is 33-0 (12 KOs) which is clearly worse KO% than Whitakers (who would've easily had 14 KOs in his 16 first fights had he fought as weak opposition as Floyd did in 17 months).
