    Floorings:
    Pele Reid (kickboxing)
    Raphael Butler (sparring)
    Travis Walker (body shot, sparring)

    Stoppages:
    Oleg Maskaev (amateurs)
    Chris Byrd
    Lennox Lewis

    I'm grateful to anyone who can expose any more floorings/stoppages. All of the above are easily verifiable via Google.

    The Iron Chin Myth needs to be debunked. Vitali doesn't face big punchers anymore. Just look at his ducking of his MANDATORY, Bermane Stiverne :-(

    Corey Sanders may have dropped him in the first round in their fight too, it was a tough call to make

    However Pele reid was a kickboxer, kicks are a lot harder than punches especially one to the head. Reid could never make it as a boxer

    as for the others its the first im hearing of it

    He fought Reid and Maskaev when he was 18 lol, and we don't know for sure if the sparring stoppages ever happened.

    Travis Walker and Raphael Butler knocked down then-World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko during sparring in late 2005, according to trainer Dickie Wood. Witnesses on those separate November days in 2005 have been reluctant to speak about the incidents at the gym formerly known as the La Brea Boxing Academy.

    That is not the case with Wood. “I was there the whole time, and I saw it all,” said Wood, who co-trains Walker and serves as the head trainer for Diego Corrales.

    “He (Klitschko) was throwing a jab and he pulled back and was coming forward. Butler hit him with a right hand and Klitschko went down and his knee twisted underneath him. That was the last day of sparring. It was on a Friday, one week before the fight against Hasim Rahman on Nov. 12, 2005.
    “The day before, Walker hit him with a body shot. It was a left hook to the body, and it knocked Klitschko down.”

    You can still have an Iron chin and get dropped, sparing or otherwise. Allow me to educate you:

    I guess by your logic smoking Joe was a glass jawed joke?
