What do you think?

I read an article on this a few weeks back, but the fact is I can't think of anyone who finished the MAJORITY of their fights with single punch KOs, and the opposition must be taken into account as well. In the same article the author lists guys who were more efficient with the number of punches they needed to knock th other guy out, and kind of discredited the whole point of his writing by putting Tyson in this bracket, who I'd think most would agree is in the accumulation of punches bracket type of finisher.

Ernie's power is legendary cause guys who shared the ring with him AND beasts like Lyle and Foreman refer to Ernie as the guy whoi had the most devastating punch.
