Top 10 for most KO's and pro matches

Here is a list I came by that you might find intresting:

Most KO's
1. Archie Moore Lt heavy 1936-63 130
2.Young Stribling heavy 1921-33 126
3.Billy Bird welter 1920-48 125
4.George Odwell welter 1930-45 114
5.Sugar Ray Robinson middle 1940-65 110
6.Sandy Saddler father 1944-56 103
7.Sam Langford middle 1902-26 102
8.Henry Armstrong welter 1931-45 100
9.Jimmy Wilde fly 1911-23 98
10. Len Wickwar lt. heavy 1928-47 93

I dont think their is any current boxer that will be able to get on this list, Archie Moore's record is safe from ever being surpased.

Most pro bouts
1.Len Wickwar lt.heavy 1928-47 463
2.Jack Britton welter 1905-30 350
3.Johnny Dundee feather 1910-32 333
4.Billy Bind welter 1920-48 318
5.George Marsden ? 1928-46 311
6.Maxie Rosenbloom lt.heavy 1923-39 299
7.Harry Greb middle 1913-26 298
8.Young Stribling lt.heavy 1921-33 286
9.Battling Levinsky ltheavy 1910-29 282
10.Ted "kid" Lewis welter 1909-29 279

Now this list is outdated since a current boxer has made the list, the great Reggie Strickland

has over 300 bouts, can he make it to number 1# before he retires?

What about Buck Smith for the most KO's list.

I don't know if he's still fighting or what his final career stats were, but he must have been pretty close to the tail end of that list.

Well, if a guy like Buck Smith hasn't fought in over a year, he's either hurt bad, or retired... because He fought about once every month, so I doubt he's just gonna take a break for a year for no reason...

Your right Buck Smith should be #4, since he is in his late 30's he probably is retired.

Buck Smith is retired...I believe he promotes fights now.

i know you arnt saying anything about how great these guys' power is but just to make sure we are all on the same page KO percentage for guys with 40-50+ bouts and or a title says a lot more imo

again i know nobody is saying this, im just saying in case somebody see's this and wants to use it to say listons KO over moore was a fluke and that archie was a superior puncher or stuff like that

Was that list taken or cross referenced from http://www.boxinginsider.com? I know they have a list for the most career fights. You could check it out to see if you have missed something.
