    Ah, but Nichols is a 6'3 400 lb fighting machine.
    He was a trim 390 the night of the Wilder fight; evidence of a brisk 2 week camp

    Yeah he was officially knocked down by Monty Barrett in the 12th round of their rematch I believe. I think he was also dropped by Rahman after the bell but he shook it off like nothing, it wasnt counted as a knockdown.

    Didn’t Corrie Sanders have Vitali touch down for a few seconds?

    No, if you look at it closely, Corrie got frustrated that Vit wouldnt go down, so he put his leg behind Vitali, grabbed him by the shoulders, and tripped/shoved him down.

    Actually, Oliver McCall had a much more legit uncalled kd that people always forget about at the end of I think the third round of his fight against Akinwande.
