Question
Who has the most careerknockouts as a proffesional and how many, who's second and how many?

Answer
Hi Alvin,
Thanks for the question.
The exact numbers tend to vary depending on the source of the records, but the order is solid.
The all-time professional boxing knockout king is Archie Moore, who scored between 131 and 145 career knockouts.
Second place goes to Young Stribling, a heavyweight who scored 126 knockouts.
Thanks again for writing, Alvin!

Regards,
Lian
