Brian Nielsen 49-0, Rocky Marciano 49-0, Larry Holmes 48-0

Considering valuev was close, yes we will see that

Archie Moore's record for knockouts seems pretty safe

He went 46-0 didn't he..

I think by time a boxer reaches 40-0, regardless of weight, they would get some sort of world title shot... or be in some dodgy mando position.. Then get found out at the top level..

Yeah. Even if it's false, you can sell 40-0 as a serious challenger. Even if he winds up being totally out of his depth. Might as well get the money while the getting is good. Someone should've told David Rodriguez's people that.

Hopkins being about 48 and winning a bloody belt again. That was epic against Pascal.

Might had taken some sh*t.

Pac winning in 8 divisions.
It's bloody hard to get your head around it really.
If you saw him early in his career, as a fly, you would have said bullsh*t if someone said he would win a WW strap at 41 :o
Heck, he was a scrawny littte bugger in the 90's.

You're right, the record for most KO's will never be broken.

Billy Bird has the record. It's 138 KO's. (And no way in the world anyone ever breaks it.)
