El Chapo Rosario was tko'd but he was never down in 47 fights.

Mike McCallum never went down either did he? Not even after that bomb landed on his chin by Julian Jackson!
BoxRec says Tiozzo dropped Mike , though I don't remember the fight well

Mayweather Jr is very close I think. It appears that he does have an official knockdown on his ledger, but it arguably came as he took a knee with a hand injury. A knockdown yes, but not exactly knocked off his feet.

Was Glen Johnson ever knocked down?

Johnson's mention reminds me of Ottke. I think officially, he's no KDs against him, the Reid debacle aside.

Monzon not down until his last (100th) bout.

Fellow Argentine middleweight champ Jorge Castro had some chin on him (literally). I think he was only over twice in nearly 150 fights, late in his career when he was fighting way north of 160.

Paraguayan Juan Carlos Giminez was in with some of the best names around 168 in the 90s, not down as far as I can tell or recall. Calzaghe stopped him but it was body shots and corner retirement.

Antonio Tarver - I don't think he's been decked and he rose up the weights and fought until he was nearly 50.

Forgot about that one, somewhat embarrassingly, being one of his high profile fights. :oops:

Tua was down in his first fight vs Barrett, and unofficially vs Rahman (though it might have been a split second after the bell), but ya, dude was pretty iron

The hard thing about this question is that you get guys like this who had granite chins but then either took a flash kd or very late on finally declined enough to be put on their arse

There were some rumors, that he was down vs Yuri Yelistratov. There's a version of the fight without 3 - 7 rounds on youtube and by them it's not likely, that Valuev was down in this fight.

Good grief; he's way off base for this thread.

I don't know why I ever thought he'd never been dropped. :oops: :doh:

Maurice Wilson, KD so few (I know of one). Long career fought many top dogs. Never stopped. Losing record too. H.
Danny Blake never stopped & never KD. Record a bit under Marion Wilson but he too fought top flight people. "KO1 artist....."Shannon Briggs he took the distance. Among others.

I see the reply two up ^ but.. I'll leave mine too. Yup! Jimmy Thunder 1. I think it may of been nine-count there.

I think Wach was never down. Some of his fights were stopped (and rightly so) when he was getting outclassed, but I do not remember him going down.

Most impressive might have been the guy who couldn't be dropped by one of the biggest punchers of alltime while crying and having a nervous breakdown.
