Who was the only HW Champ to win the "Undisputed Heavyweight Championship" with a 1st round KO? Who did he beat?

Liston against Patterson

Yep.

That's easy.
How about two Americans winning AND losing their undisputed title belts overseas ?

heavyweights? jack johnson?

JJ is one of them.
Lennox Lewis dun't count.

We need the second one. He also owns another distinction.

That's good. Johnson escaped me. So does the other one. Hey Joey, it's been a day. Give us the answer. LOL

That's it. I thought of George but I was somehow stuck on his comeback, not his first reign as champion. He won it in Jamaica and lost it in Zaire. Good question, Joey.

I forgot it was in Jamaica. For some reason, I thought he fought Frazier in Vegas.

Foreman is correct.
How can we forget Don King flying to Jamaica with Joe Frazier then flying back to the US with Foreman ?
I don't know if it was a first but Foreman and Frazier wore different color gloves.
Foreman of course became the oldest champ, until Hop but is still the oldest heavywt champ.

Shit is getting blurry with old age I guess.
