    Ali's. His kayo % was about 66% of his wins which is more than decent. But he was mainly fighting top tier opposition from 64 onwards. Very little filler. Put even top punchers in against that level of opposition and their KO record looks more human.

    Ali also carried opponents a bit, to save his sore hands. But when he wanted to pour it on, he hurt guys badly.
