Who was the quickest to score 50 knockouts in their professional career. As Marvin Hagler has scored 52 in 67 and Wladimir K looks like he will score his 50th in 60 fights against Mormeck. Has anyone done it quicker.

I think Jimmy Wilde

Zarate did it in his 51st fight.

Having just seen his record http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=402&cat=boxer I thought bloody hell he must have been an utter monster at Bantamweight.

He was a KO technician.

I will have to give him a look on Youtube and let you know what I make of him. Judging by his record I might get quite a few entertaining fights to watch.

Olivares can't be far behind, I think he only went to points or drew once before hitting 50 KOs.

Julio Cesar Chavez may be up there in gthis one. Although by his 50th fight he may have just won a title and a lot of his opposition before that was a bit poor

Zarate was a part time anesthesiologist.

Worth bearing in mind that the vast majority of his early victims either had losing records, were making their debuts or didn't have a ring record that can be traced.

I will see what fights of his are on Youtube and go from there.

Ernie Shavers had 55 ko's out of his first 57 wins.
