Ring Magazine has compiled its own list of the greatest punchers in boxing history.
Mike Tyson is not included in the TOP 10 best punchers in the history of boxing according to Ring Magazine.
Journalists of the publication compiled a list of the biggest knockouts among boxers, and “Iron Mike” was behind the leader.
It will be remembered that Mike Tyson once became the youngest world heavyweight champion in the history of boxing at the age of 20 years, 4 months and 22 days. Of the boxer’s 50 professional victories (50-6), 44 were by knockout, including 24 in the first round. However, such achievements were only enough for 13th place in the ranking.
