In modern times believe it or not Shannon Briggs hold's the distinction of having 33 1st round KO's in his career. Scoring his 33rd just this past weekend and edging closer to Otto.
People often ask who has the most consecutive 1st round KO's from the begingin of a career. First it was Edwin Valero then Tyron Brunson broke his record sadly this record now belongs to a sorry, poor excuse of a boxer namaed Ali Raymi from Yemen who has 20 1st round KO's consecutively. If you look him up and see his fights you will quickly discover the poor excuse of boxing commission that country has. His record, his opponents and the commission allowing this should be ashamed.
That is very cool. I like researching the sport and its nice when you come across a gem that may not be "officially" recognized by some record gatherers. Another example would be the Wills/Langford marathon of fights which is anywhere from 18 to 23 times depending on the source. Its officially recognized as the most fights between two people in a career but its not technically.
Two Londoners named Mike Sweeney and Danny Cripps fought each other 63 times between 1902 and 1921. Now they were staples on local undercards in the London area so historians may have believed there was some foul play but technically they are the record holders.
