high level fighters never dropped

[bigjack]

I'm sure he was early in his career,can't find it now though.

He’s definitely been dropped, the footage is just always getting deleted from the internet (presumably by Wilder’s team).

Ah man, you're right. Dustin "The Worm" Nichols. Was it a knockdown though?

It was Harold Sconiers who floored Wilder

[TheLeprechaun]

Has mayweather been down?

Touched the deck once or twice, never ruled a KD though

A knee after breaking of a hand was ruled as a KD.

Touched down vs Judah in the second after taking a flush right hook but got away with it.

Wobbled badly by Corley and fell back into the ropes but it would have been extremely harsh to give him a count on the basis of the ropes keeping him up, from memory.

Was in the most trouble against Mosley in the 2nd. One more clean right hand might have done him. If someone like Hearns had him in that much bother he would have been finished. I could see Vernon Forrest finding the punch to end it if he had him that hurt.

Got stunned by Pac in the 2nd too I believe.

Maidana had him stunned and reaching for the rope after a round.

Took a flush uppercut from McGregor early too.

Ultimately he was the most vulnerable very early in a fight when he hadn't figured his opponents rhythm or timing out. The Hagler who came into the Hearns fight like a madman would have probably KO'd Floyd if Floyd met him at 160. Hagler being a southpaw I think for sure he would have landed something that got Floyds attention.

Ah apologies

I bet he watches every fight of Wilder's and tells all his family that he put that big bastard on his arse haha.

[Manchester Massive]

Juan Laporte must have had some chin looking at the company he kept

[dr_devious]

The marvellous one, Marvin Hagler ~ nobody but nobody could drop that man. ( that wasn’t a knockdown )

I was going to say this too, the Roldan count looked like a slip

[smiling assassin]

Does anyone know if Glen Johnson ever went down. I know Hopkins stopped the road warrior but think he got stopped on his feet. Johnson was a hard man

[Coco]

Chagaev nearly, he I think he wasn't down against Klitschko as far as I remember, despite the TKO (while sitting on his chair), did get knocked down against Browne, but was actually standing while receiving the TKO loss.

So he doesn't really fit the title of the thread then does he ?

He was down, in the third I think, I Was there! With ForceFraser! It was when Haye was supposed to fight Klit.
He had a go early on, but after getting dropped he went into his shell and got systematically broke up in a Klit masterclass

[Ettt9350]

I'm not certain but pretty sure Riddick Bowe was never knocked down, can anyone confirm this?

[punchers chance]

Bowe was knocked down by Holyfield in their 3rd fight. There may have been others in his comeback.

[DrDuke]

Golota knocked Bowe down in the second bout twice (legit KDs, not the low-blowing ones).

[bennie]

Don't think anyone floored Tex Cobb and he went in with some murderous-punching heavies.

[Heretic]

Wilder went down after a punch from Nichols but it was ruled as slip.

Sconiers made him hit the deck hard.

[skanksta]

Vitali Klitschko had a helluva chin and had never been knocked down in his boxing pro-career, although he was knocked out cold in an amateur kickboxing match once.

By Pele Reid no less !

Was a kick though, right ?

[skanksta]

Here it is - can't believe I never watched this before..

[littlepug]

I bet Reids mates are sick of hearing about it !

I'm sure your right in saying Hearns and Hagler would of Knocked Floyd out they were middleweights

[Boxerbeetle]

Here it is - can't believe I never watched this before..

If I remember correctly, there’s some controversy because kicks to the head weren’t allowed during the bout so Vitali wasn’t expecting it. No idea whether that’s true or not.

[TheGman]

Golovkin, Wilder. I know they're still fighting, but they are well into their careers now.

Sure Wilder has been dropped.

Think he did but only as amateur

[TheGman]

Sure Wilder has been dropped.

Think he did but only as amateur

He has been on the ground as a pro as well, several times in fact

Has he? I didnt know this lol

[jamamb]

he defo was dropped by harold sconeres (apparently a hard drop too) but mysteriously the footage was removed from onlne and hasnt reappeared

[bigjack]

Chagaev nearly, he I think he wasn't down against Klitschko as far as I remember, despite the TKO (while sitting on his chair), did get knocked down against Browne, but was actually standing while receiving the TKO loss.

So he doesn't really fit the title of the thread then does he ?

But would he if the Browne fight never happened?
But indeed, that's why I said nearly.

Ike Ibeabuchi? (correct me if I'm wrong)

The Browne fight did happen and he did get floored,don't get the 'nearly' bit you keep going on about

I saw that knockdown before it was removed.

It's just a very rare thing, high level heavyweights that never dropped. But at least I came up with two names, and named someone who allmost achieved it, while you're just banging on the "ha, I can read the word "nearly" but don't know any good answer myself, so just try to annoy you!".

Hector Camacho ?

The tread title didn't ask for nearly though did it,or specify heavyweights ? i could have named McCall but that was obvious,instead you named someone who did get knocked down.I'm not trying to annoy you,i simply pointed out you were wrong,simple as dat

[Ricky]

Has mayweather been down?

He threw a jab to the body of Zab Judah and ate a left hook when he was down there. It knocked him off balance and his glove touched down, but the ref missed it.

[paddy chavez]

Was Mike McCallum ever dropped I'm not sure
