Better KO statistics than Shavers and McClellan
Posted: 10 Aug 2004, 17:20
I mean of overall career.
I think Earnie Shavers and Gerald McClellan.
Earnie Shavers was 67 KOs in 73 wins, I don't know how much first rund KOs he had(I wish Boxrec supplied this but I guess too much work) but it was a lot. That is a knockout percentage of 91.78%.
McClellan had 29 KOs in 31 wins, a huge percentage of 93.55%. He had 20 first round KOs, a fanstatic percentage of 68.97%. You may say it was because he had an early career but he actually knocked out better opposition than Shavers beat whether past their prime or not.
I think these two had the best KO statistics I've seen taking into account being good boxers or at least beating a name like Norton or Jackson.
Who had better statistics?
