fighters who destroyed the champion in their world title debut

[Anthony342]

Tyson-Spinks since that was the title win that made him the Ring/lineal heavyweight champion and was his first true title win. Before that, he had beaten the belt holders. The ones already mentioned that I've watched, I'd agree with as well.

Liston vs patterson!!!! First man to knockout the champion in the first round, thought that would of come up by now

[Prince Mongo]

Hagler Minter and Honeyghan Curry come to mind.

[Sugarj]

Max Baer vs Primo Carnera
Tyson vs Bruno 2
Hamed vs Robinson

Hagler Minter and Honeyghan Curry come to mind.

Minter-Hagler wasn't Hagler's first shot at the title. He had a draw against Antuofermo.

Foster-Tiger

Foreman-Frazier, Dempsey-Willard, Max Baer-Primo Carnera my god...those were embarrassing...

Dempsey-Willard, anyone? The ultimate #1 answer for this question.

As a joke of sorts someone did an estimate of how much Tyson made "per a minute" when he fought Spinks and won that title!

Dempsey - Willard is the first one who comes to mind.
Foreman - Frazier
