Longest KO streaks in boxing

[greynotsoold]

And look at the 3 guys in front of him, bums! Only Wilfredo Gomez' run means anything here, and perhaps Freitas, although I don't know how good many of his early opponents were. Almost nobody has a good string of consecutive KO wins once they have reached the very top, no matter how hard they hit, it just doesn't happen.

Why don't Zarate and Zamora matter? Zarate ko'd everybody he fought at a championship level except Lupe Pintor; when he came back at 35 only two guys went the distance with him. (And when you boxrec him and see Muniz at 1-12 I can assure you that is an incomplete record, unless you believe that a guy started his career fighting Paulie Ayala.) The guys Zamora beat included Pedroza and Sandoval.
Either of them fought better guys than Freitas, and I could walk to the nearest homeless camp, pick a fight, and have fought better guys than Wilder.

Well...... except Wilfredo Gomez, who knocked him out.
A truly great, classic fight between two dangerous, hard-punching, all-time great champions.
