    ..cant think of anyone else right now
    Holmes got dropped against shavers, ali against Cooper, Holyfield against "dropped" by Bert Cooper, Marciano was dropped by Moore,
    Maybe Liston?
    Mercer was dropped by Holyfield. Tucker got dropped by Lewis. Bowe got pretty much knocked out by Holyfield with one shot. Foreman got dropped by Lyle.

    True Kevin Ashcroft. Pinklon Thomas was only dropped once in hi career and that was by a huge barrage from Mike tyson in Thomas last good performance. Amazing if you consider he fought guys like tommy Morrison when he was badly shot.

    Not sure if it's going to count, but Gary mason. He never contested a world title but had the British title. Was never dropped and only stopped by Lewis with his eye damage.

    The 80s were full of title holders that had study solid chins like Holmes, Witherspoon, Thomas, Tucker and even the likes of Tubbs, Dokes, Smith and Berbick weren't as bad as some people remember.
