More Bang For Your Buck: Boxing's Top KO Champs!

by Dafs117

On Saturday, power-punching monster Edwin Valero will make his maiden defence of his WBC Lightweight belt against Hector Velazquez in front of a sell-out bumper crowd in his home nation of Venezuela, La Guaira.

As ‘Dinamita’ has a ridiculous knockout ratio, we list the top 10 belt-holders in order of knockout percentage.

#10 Giovanni Segura (MEX) (22-1-1, 18 KOs) 82%

The WBA Light Flyweight titlist has won all his title contests by stoppage.

#9 Vic Darchinyan (ARM) (33-2-1, 27 KOs) 82%

The WBC and WBA Super Flyweight titleholder made a stunning comeback from the Agbeko defeat with a two round knockout of Tomas Rojas.



#8 Roman Gonzalez (NIC) (24-0, 21 KOs) 83%

The 22 year old Nicaraguan has suffered a knockout drought, winning his last two WBA Strawweight contests by decision.

#7 Kelly Pavlik (USA) (35-1, 31 KOs) 89%

Currently holding both WBO and WBC belts, Pavlik will fight Miguel Espino on PPV this weekend.

#6 Wladmir Klitschko (UKR) (53-3, 47 KOs) 89%

The younger brother might not be as dangerous as his brother, but the WBO and IBF Champion still has a kick in his punches.

#5 Juan Manuel Lopez (PUR) (27-0, 24 KOs) 89%

The new Puerto Rican icon survived a late scare from Rogers Mtagwa in possibly his last defence of his WBO Super Bantamweight title.

#4 Tavoris Cloud (USA) (20-0, 18 KOs) 90%

The undefeated American IBF Light Heavyweight titleholder will surely carry his power against better competition in 2010.

#3 David Haye (GBR) (23-1, 21 KOs) 91%

The brash Brit WBA Heavyweight beltholder has carried his explosive power to the high ranks of the heavyweight division.

#2 Vitali Klitschko (UKR) (38-2, 36 KOs) 95%

After defeating Kevin Johnson by decision in Berne last Saturday, ‘Dr Ironfist’s percentage dropped slightly, but not enough to see him fall below rival David Haye.

#1 Edwin Valero (VEN) (25-0, 25 KOs) 100%

The Venezuelan will be looking to keep his uniquely amazing knockout percentage with a stoppage of Velazquez in front of his hometown.
