Easy To Knock Down - Impossible To Stop

You could drop or hurt Arturo Gatti initially, but it would take a ton of beating afterwards to stop him, and often that was on cuts or a corner stoppage rather than a 10 count.

 

Aaron Pryor.
Louis.

 

Larry Holmes...(Prime, not the one that fought Tyson...:-D)

 

Sugar Ray Robinson was down in 12 different fights but never stopped in any of them.

 

Tito
Danny "Little Red" Lopez

 

Marciano hit the floor a handful of times in his career.

Same with Ali. Although he was stopped once so I guess he wouldn't really fit here. He was never dropped by Holmes, so he was never knocked down and stopped.

 

Holmes and Louis came to mind, although neither was "easy" to knock down they were each dropped fairly often for ATGs. But stopping them was close to impossible.

 

Yep -- when Danny retired the now defunct "Boxing Today" magazine did a huge article on his career. The title was "Danny 'Little Red' Lopez: Knock him down, He'll get up and Kill Ya."

 

Jeffries was never beaten in his prime,Dempsey had about 80 pro fights maybe around 100 pre pro fights andwhat about 50-70 post career and ko,d 1 time wich was rumored a 500 dollar dive so i think he along with marciano,but i dont know if big jim was even knocked down in his prime now thati think about it.

 

Patterson was dropped many times but only stopped by huge punchers in Liston - who also was a bad style match up - and Johannson and by a top2 hw.

Trinidad was also dropped quite often but only stopped by Hopkins.

 

Not only was Jefferies never beaten in his prime he was putting down future hall of famers and was NEVER even knocked down-no boxer in history but Jeffries can say that.

 

Joe Grim wasn't impossible to stop but he was certainly a tough customer to say the least.

 

Hamed visited the canvas a fair few times but always got up and never really seemed very hurt.

 

Perhaps not, but given the limited amount of fights he fought, it's not as impressive as it sounds. Vitali Klitschko with way more fights under his belt could pretty much say the same thing.
