Heavyweight Punchers KO wins

Well, unless we're talking champs, Lamar Clark should be there (back in 1977 list). Up to date would include Bruno, Wald and Vitali.

 

Foreman went below Marciano because of his comeback fights in the 90's, so as far as Lineal champs Marciano is number 1.

Shavers is perhaps still number 1??

 

Lennox Lewis would be 0.780
Tyson would be 0.880
Holyfield 0.640
Bruno would be 0.950

A bit unfair as Holyfield Tyson and Bruno have been beaten much more than the like of marciano, Forman or Lewis

 

Well perhaps, but in regards to Tyson he lived and died by the glove so to speak in the ring.

Outside of Holyfiled 2, all his other losses was by ko.

and urtain and Mac Foster

 

Fitzsimmons warrants mentioning. Did kill, what... three men in the ring?

 

Just About..

You know Baer has 2 kills to his credit.

 

Actually, i think Baer should only be "credited" with one ring kill.

 

One in a profesional fight

One in sparring

One in a profesional fight (questioned)

 

Campbell is Baer's work.

Schaaf is often credited as Baer's kill but i don't see why. He was fine for over half a year afterwards and even went through several professional fights without big problems. Whether those opponents were mediocre or not, they still hit him. Perhaps something was wrong with him going into the Carnera fight, but i don't see why it should be related to the Baer fight.


Who did he kill in sparring?

 

Vitali Klitschko is numero uno!
