talk of frochs chin made me wonder about this, because even he was down a few times
which fighters of decent level (so not journeymen just survuving etc) never even got floored?
provo is a recent one

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.

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

Chuvalo. To hear him speak now you have to think he had a shock absorber for a chin.
Loi
Tua
Jofre
Obovusly Chavez was famously dropped by Randall but that is still some milestone.
I think monzon wasn’t dropped until his last fight.
Murat has a decent Chin on him but he has been dropped, although both stoppage losses were corner stoppages.
The Czech dude who was wbo light middle, quite a decent little boxer I’m fairly sure wasn’t dropped, Lucas konechny (sp)
Might have to check these but off the top of my head:
Harry Simon
Brian Mitchell
Winky Wright (not really, Vasquez bounced him up and down but did say he had new boots or something)
Quartey, although I think López dropped him.
Jose luis Lopez
Ricardo Lopez

Btw Tua was dropped in pros by Rahman right after the final bell, but that wasn't counted.
And Mayweather had curious knockdown affairs. He was counted out, when he broke his hand and took a knee, but he wasn't counted out, when he was rocked by Judah and touched the canvas with a glove.

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

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

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

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

No wonder, it had to be a guy named Pele. Probably one of those bicycle kicks...Vitali never saw it coming.

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

Yeah, he was, good call.
I think Loche was only down once, ever.

Mariusz Wach took all the best punches from the best versions of Wlad, Povetkin and Miller and never went down.
