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?.

I can only think of these fights I will add more when I think of some more.
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.

Willie Pep grew to become into on top of my recommendations yet I double examine Boxrec i found out that Pep basically gained 164 fights of his 241 fights in a distance with the aid of 15 rounds which grew to become into incomprably decrease than the boxer Len Wickwar of uk. Len Wickwar have the main style of bouts winning 338 fights out of 466 bouts. winning 245 of the 338 W via skill of decision. That makes a minimum of 70% of his wins went to the area. yet i'm unsure if he quite grew to become into the fighter you're searching for. besides, stunning Boxing trivialities question you have have been given there! reliable success!
