    Wladimir Klitschko deserves a mention.

    while i do believe that fight to be a dive by a starving dempsey, Dempsey was stopped earlier in his career, multiple times, though unrecorded. He's gone on numerous times to say he was brutally knocked out multiple times when he was out in the mid west fighting for scraps and didnt really know how to box

    Aaron Pryor had a fetish for getting knocked down. Charles has the record for knockdowns but he had so many fights he can be forgiven.

    Yes but that cuts both ways.

    If we factor in his unrecorded fights, then his record becomes something like 97-12-11

    "had a fetish for getting knocked down"

    there's an expression I've never heard before.

    Roy was rarely hit in his prime. The chin stays the same. So yes Roy deserves to be mentioned here.

    Agreed he had great defense for a reason. He knew this early on

    Punch resistance can really deteriorate with age. Roy was 35 and a veteran when he started looking shaky

    Relatively speaking for ATGs, yes but I would not describe either man as having a bad chin though.

    Certainly not Lewis, Wlad's chin was unreliable but IMO falls short of being glass. Honestly, Wlad had defensive and stamina issues in his ko losses and it's not like Brewster, Purity, Peter, Sanders, and AJ are featherfisted either.
