    So GGG vs Lemieux is generating a lot of interest mostly because both fighters have big power and very high KO%.
    I'm not sure I can remember a world title fight were the average KO% of both fighters is as high as these two.

    What have been the best fights between knockout artists throughout history?

    I guess Hearns/Hagler is an obvious inclusion here.
