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. Search every fight to filter the whole record yourself, or start from the year-by-year archive.
