What counts. Method recorded as KO/TKO. A doctor’s stoppage is a different method on the official record and is not counted here. Ties. 9 of the rows below share the same 17 seconds. Where two bouts share a value the older one is listed first — the first fight to reach a mark is the one that reached it. Check us. Every row links the bout’s own page, which carries the official round, clock time and method this ranking was built from.
