Strictly speaking, all of them.

 

Emmanuel Augustus got KO'ed in the final seconds of a fight, i forget the fighter he fought against. But I highly suspected he took a dive at the time, but still it counts towards this thread.

 

I just found it if you type in "Emmanuel Augustus takes a dive" on YouTube you should see the clip. Theres like 2 seconds left in the fight, and Augustus goes down very strangely from a light punching flurry.

 

Rocky Graziano made a real habit of this. He stopped Freddie (Red) Cochrane twice, Charlie Fusari and in his third fight with Tony Janiro. All four in the 10th and final round. I believe three of them he was trailing on points.

 

Haha....very good.

Except maybe for fights that didn’t even last for for 1 minute in order for them to have a last minute.

Another loophole maybe: The fighting didn’t finish in Ali-Liston II until after the last minute - at least as far as Nat Fleischer dictated it to Jersey Joe Walcott.
