    I don't recall Edwin Rosario ever being knocked down or tasting the canvas before. Most of his TKO losses were fights where he was on his feet and stopped by the ref or retiring on his stool.

    For a long time...till he fought Joe Louis, Max Baer was knocking 'em dead without ever hitting the canvas.

    Well of course...good catch Mark...I would have listed him if I actually gave a damn about the modern boxing scene.

    Gerald McClellan. The only time he went down was during his fight with Benn when he was forced to take a knee from the brain injury. Not even Julian Jackson could drop the G-Man.

    True, but G-Man looked like a LHW in there compared to Jackson.

    Haggler. Jesus that mans chin and skull must have come into contact with alien materials that had fallen to earth. Tommy Hearns cracked him with a right that would have knocked anyone else into the shadow realm and Haggler took a single step back and then continued on his way as if nothing happened.
