    Which fighters have never been knocked down?

    Fighters who atleast had a long enough career to make this impressive. I mean I can name guys like Ike Ibeabuchi but his career was cut short just as he was gonna fight all the top guys.

    So far I have come up with:
    -George Chuvalo
    -Oliver McCall
    -Mitch Green
    -Vitali Klitschko
    -Nicolai Valuev


    You can also name guys who have only been down like once or twice despite a very long career against great punchers. Too bad Lamotta went down at the end, it would have been something.

    Camacho was floored in 1988 by Reyes Cruz and then by DeLaHoya in '97.

      Hagler.

      The Roldan KD was BS, a slip.

        Yes.

        Also, aside from the after-the-bell punch that KO'd him, I don't believe Marlon Starling was ever legitimately floored...and that was after tons of rounds against Curry, Nunn, Breland, Honeyghan, Simon Brown, and Blocker.

          Hmm, I don't know man. Obviously he wasn't hurt at all and it does sort of seem like a slip but without the punch he wouldn't have gone down..

            And as only Marlon can say from the Twilight Zone he was in...

            "Knocked out?? I wasn't even knocked down!!"

              Interesting thanks, I was sure he was never floored. I've also read that Craig Houk knocked him down in 03. But I can't find these fights. Also, what round was that in the De La Hoya fight?

                By the rules, it was a knockdown.

                But, by the rules.....Evander Holyfield scored a draw with Lennox Lewis, and Chavez did the same with Whitaker.

                There's what's official, and then there's what truly happened.
