    If we're counting Ruiz against Tua then it's probably only fair to count Khan against Prescott and Linares against Salgado.

    Very loose interpretation of "great". :yep

    i'm sure he just meant that they were good enough as to be expected to not get caught cold, which they were

    Frazier against Foreman? Or was that not so much 'cold-cocked' as 'used to wipe the floor with'?

    Leaving the "Great" fighters element to one side, I suppose a few might be
    considered (?) Earnie Shavers Flattening Jimmy Ellis
    Oscar Albarado being flattened by Dino Del Cid
    Jaime Garza being Flattened by Jaun Meza
    Pat Cowdell being Flattened by Azumah Nelson (So Quickly)
    Trevor Berbick being Nailed by Bernardo Mercado
