Stats identify the biggest KO puncher in boxing history - Wilder or Tyson miss out on top spot

Shannon Briggs is the heavyweight division’s biggest puncher, according to William Hill, as per World Boxing News, with the American having the quickest knockout ratio.

It is a surprising name at the top of the list because you may expect Mike Tyson or Deontay Wilder to come out on top.

They do both make it into the top 10, but there are some big names who do miss out.

Lamon Brewster has a 3.48 ratio with Corrie Sanders following him on the list with 3.64.
