Top Ten Most KOs in Title Fights

I see 17 for Alexis Arguello and 18 for Ratanapol Sor Vorapin (Anucha Phothong)

 

How many does Mike mccallum have ?

 

I count 10 for major belts he has some filler fights inbetween.
I've not counted minor titles outside big 4 or Euro. British etc.
Joe Calzaghe 11
Lennox Lewis 12

 

Surely Donaire has loads... He flatlined damn near everyone once he got to world level

 

Yep, 17 for both, both make the list. Thank you!

 

I added a feature for an excuse to bump. Now * signifies the active fighter with the most active KOs. Of course the list will be updated as more fighters reach the list. (Looking at you Inoue)

 

Hearns ? at least 10 i think

Golovkin has 20.

 

Secondary titles don't count. Only real titles.

 

I added a legend and a notifier if they KOd the most people in a division's history. I will add each fighter's primary division (by title fight KOs) later today.

 

There goes Dariusz.


I remember attending the Antontio Tarver-Reggie Johnson fight. It was listed as an IBF eliminator but one guy was also the #2 WBO contender. The other, I believe, was the WBO #4 contender, so it was essentially a WBO eliminator as well. Excellent fight. Johnson floored Tarver. Tarver eaked out a decision.

On the undercard, local pug Joey DeGrandis fought a nobody in a 4-rounder and won a sloppy decision. Three months later, Dariusz defends against DeGrandis and he never fought Tarver or Johnson. That was kind of typical for him much of the time.

 

One thing I seem to have to disqualify Dariusz for is that the WBO title wasn't a major title until 1999 (at the earliest, some people push it to 2002, 2004 or 2007).

*Edit: I decided to disqualify him, for the sake of proper historical view.

 

Felix Trinidad had 15 stoppages in title fights

 

I actually counted 16 four times. So he's in with 16! Good catch, thanks
