Fighters who never got off the canvas to win

Really ?

I remember when he was hurt he usually got ktfo shortly thereafter. He did rally to beat Cummings after being rocked but I don't believe he tasted the canvas in that fight. He almost ran out of gas again jMcCall but held on for a the win. I don't think he was knocked down though.

 

Floyd Patterson, against Ingo in 1959 and against Sonny Liston in 1962 and 1963, Sonny Liston 1965 against Muhammad Ali, and of course Mike Tyson against James Buster Douglas 1990.

 

I am astonished that some people cannot read and understand the question being asked.

Fighters who NEVER got off the floor to win......not just in one or two fights....

It's not that difficult surely.?

 

I don't believe Gerry Cooney or Ken Norton ever got off the canvas to win a fight.

 

Liston took a dive against Ali and was old af against Martin, so I don't think it's fair to include him in this list.

 

Beat Pineda, Hurtado after being floored.

 

Good list. Czyz did get up against Willie Edwards though.

 

Terry Norris?

 

Norton got off the canvas to beat Harold Dutra, Aaron Eastling, and Vic Brown. I believe you're correct about Cooney however.

 

Troy Waters.

 

How could I forget that?!

 

Isn't that a sexy thing? Do be so good that you don't need to get off the canvas to win

 

He was down in the 8th against Qawi.

 

He took a dive and you still wanna be fair to him? Don’t forget he quit in the first fight as well.

 

Didn't he get up in the fight with Waters?
