Question
Who was  / or is the number one boxer for there carrer in knock outs

Answer
Hi Nicole,

Thanks for the question.

The all-time knockout king in professional boxing is Archie Moore, former light-heavyweight champion. The number I had always heard was 129 career knockouts, but I just checked on www.boxrec.com, and they credit Moore with 131 career knockouts.
Either way, he has more than anyone else!

Thanks again for writing, Nicole!

Regards,
Lian
