My Top Ten Greatest Heavyweight Champs Of All Time!

[n14061981]

3)George Foreman- In his early career Big George Foreman was a fighter that had the heavyweight division in fear, with an aura of invinciblity comparable to Tysons and Listons big George would have adversaries shaking in thier boots at the mention of his name. That is until he met Ali in '74. Big George was 42-0 when he lost to Ali. After the loss he went into a downward spiral that caused him to retire from boxing and becoming a preacher, didnt box for ten years. In 1988 Foreman came back with a drive to regain the heavyweight title again. And going through ups and downs he finally won back the title at the age of 45 in 1994 by KO against Michael Moorer. Amazingly regaining the title 20 years after losing it to Ali. Foreman is in the record books for the oldest man ever to win the championship at 45 years old, and also for having the 2nd highest knockout percentage in heavyweight history.

Who has the highest percentage?

[TysonForeman]

Rocky Marciano has the highest. 43 KOs in 49 fight.
I was wondering if you calculate the percentage by dividing number of KO's by number of wins, or dividing by number of fights?
Like if a guy has a record of 10-6 (8), is his percentage 80%, or 50%?

Knockouts are always divided into the total number of fights, therefore that example you gave would've had a KO% of 50.

Whats your top ten TysonForeman.
Your probably right about Marciano and Foreman it would end in the same way as Foreman Fraizer fights but I just really like Marciano and his never say die attitude.
If half the fighters had the desire that Marciano had boxing would be a better sport. Only a few have it today. Hopkins to name one.
