..the quicket knockout i ever saw in person was by a middleweight named sheriff jackson over micky janoski......17 seconds ..first round. preliminary bout...might have been on the undercard of archie moore/billy smith....but not certain..could have been on a card later that month.

quickest i've seen on tv was the jimmy thunder one.


if you people are going to insist there is a difference beween tko and ko (tko is a mythical ruling) then you are never going to come to any agreements.

I think it's barry who gets upset when i talk about tkos....but we get aong okay so if he comes on with a disagreement i doubt if it will contain his usual cannon fire.

As the world's greatest living authority on all things pugilistic, it's understandable if he get a little upset with us mere mortals at times!
