    No, I’m Ken.

    Anyway the reference to glasses is about you and the size of the text you’re posting in.

    (counting newspaper decisions)

    Jack Britton: 9%
    Ted Kid Lewis: 27%
    Leo Houck: 12%
    Holman Williams: 19%
    Joey Giardello: 23%
    Billy Graham: 21%
    Willie Pastrano: 17%
    Kid Gavilan: 20%

    A good modern shout would be Timothy Bradley at 35%. Paulie Malignaggi's is also terrible but he isn't one I'd describe as "some of the best"

    Never a champion but just a great old contender was Orlando Zulueta of Cuba who fought everybody. I had always heard that he used to really shred a fighters eyes with cuts, so I figured he would be up there with stoppage wins. How little i knew. In 128 bouts he scored 7 stoppages. Boxrec has his % at 5.47.
