Best record with the Black pieces?

Hello!

I don't know if this has been asked before, but I wondered about which chess grandmaster had the best record with the Black pieces of all time. I ask this question because I've heard of some lop-sidede results with the Black and White pieces. Anatoly Karpov comes to mind as a player who would "win with White and draw with Black." On the other hand, I've heard that Botvinnik had a good record with the Black pieces. So, does anyone know who had the best record? 

Thanks,

i think it was book review i was reading on amazon but a reviewers opinion was 2nd Bobby fischer and 1st was Victor korchnoi.Ive read they both are great with black pieces from other sources.I hope this benefits youa little.

Woah, didn't think this thread would be revived any time soon. Fischer and Korchnoi... sounds about right.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2014/07/09/garry_kasparov_magnus_carlsen_who_is_the_greatest_chess_player.html this place says fischer black winning percentage is 69 % ,then capablanca 68%,followed by kasparov 64%,botvinnik  63 %,finally karpov 57%(at least before fighting battles with gary kasparov , karpov always played for draw as black)White pieces kasparov 80%, Fischer 77%,karpov and botvinnik 72% and last capablanca 67%.

In 2023?
