Yea pretty amazing Gomez is one of my favorite fighters at the lower weights, and i expect you to be a very big fan as well, considering he is fellow Puerto Rican. But that is amazing stat i was just watching Gomez vs Zarate again and i was curious to see the stats and when i see them my mouth was wide open, i've never seen such high KO percentage in a Championship fight of that caliber.

Oh yeah.... huge fan of Gomez also. But I didn't realize Zarate ended his career with such a high KO ratio himself. Speaks volumes of the achievement it was for Gomez to KO Zarate. Zarate had a key victory on the way up against a great, fellow Mexican fighter... Alfonso Zamora. That was also a battle of unbeatens.

His fight with Zamora was awesome a Thomas Hearns vs Marvin Hagler type of war if its the right fight im thinking of, is that the fight where some guy in the crowd comes into the ring with only his underpants on or something like that ??

I have to admit I've never been able to see that fight. But I'm told the buildup to the fight was huge, considering it matched two great, unbeaten Mexican fighters against one another. They should show it on ESPN Classic.

You may well laugh at this one but VITALI KLITSCHKO v HERBIE HIDE

Vitali had 24 Ko's from 24 fights

Hide had 29Ko's from 31 fights with one loss (BOWE)

As we saw, Hide was a typical puncher who really couldn't take it when he stepped up in class of opposition though.

Julian jackson - Terry norris

Marciano-Louis.....granted Joe wasn't near his prime but historically speaking they are two of the best power punchers in the history of the heavyweight division
