Who has the 5 best KO/TKO scalps? Heavies

These are not true/proper KOs.
In their first fight, Liston had to quit on his stool due to a shoulder injury. He took a dive in the second.
Frazier was never knocked out by Ali, his corner just threw the towel.
Lyle was a premature stoppage.
Williams was a shot boxer when he faced Ali.

 

There was no KO whatsoever.

 

Louis yes, Ali hell no, he never knocked them out.

Same situation as with Ali. Lewis did not KO Vitali or McCall. And Tyson was shot.

 

It's not Ali one beat. He never actually KO'd them and only Foreman was in his prime.

 

If they fought pre Steward, Bowe beats his arse.

 

There's no argument for Ali whatsoever.

 

No. Stopping them means knocking them the **** out, not them quitting on their stool, taking dives or their corner throwing the towel.
Also, how close to their primes his opponents were also matters.

 

Up until 95/96, Bowe.
After that, Lewis.

 

Current ability of the victim matters greatly.

 

Liston might have been champ, but he was 40+, underestimated Ali and did not train properly. Plus he had the recurring shoulder injury.

Apart from Foreman, he knocked no one.

Straight KO's are the only proper form of KO's. A TKO only counts if the guy was out on his feet and the ref had to stop it, not if the guy took a dive or quit on his stool.
