    My vote goes to Carlos Zarate who, from 1970 to 1978 went 52-0 with 51 KO's. This winning streak included 8 successful title fights all won by KO.
    Carlos amazing streak came to a halt against fellow banger Wilfredo Gomez when he challanged for Gomez's Super Bantamweight title.

    carlos zarate is a damn fine choice.

    off hand, my list would be something like...

    1) julian jackson
    2) sam langford
    3) george foreman
    4) jimmy wilde
    5-8) gomez/zarate/olivares/hearns (any order)

    For a single punch, Earnie Shavers has to be near the top.

    P4P, Julian Jackson.
    Not P4P, Earnie Shavers.
