Good answers by the guys above so im gonna skip straight to the bonus question. The fastest 1st round KO in a title fight was Gerald Mccllens KO of Jay Bell in a WBC middleweight fight, the fight lasted 20 seconds in total. Im not sure what the fastest for Heavyweights is i think it might be Tyson vs Spinks?.

Here is my list:
1. Tyson vs Spinks
2. Ali vs Liston
3. Louis vs Schmelling
4. Liston vs Patterson I & II
5. Marciano vs Walcott II
6. Ponce De Leon vs Bautista
7. Brewster vs Golota
8. Jones vs Griffin II
9. Duran vs Takayama
10. Wolfe vs Ward
I only found ten, but I know there is more, if I find more I will update my list.
Fastest KO I know of would have to be Jefferies vs Finnegan in a title bout.
