Fighters who never got off the canvas to win

You are correct sir! Blows my ship out of the water & tags me with being the recipient of the YDKWTFYTA Award. I depart defeated and humiliated.

 

Probably because it was nearly 30 years ago.

That's right. Nearly THIRTY years ago! Read that and weep. 30 years ago, I had no grey hair. I had no nostril hair. Not sure if I'm recalling correctly but I'm pretty sure I had no pubic hair.

Knob like a white Earnie Shavers.

The Acorn.

 

How many here even remember this nickname?

 

Breland got knocked down twice in his last fight but got a decision.

 

Not sure but I've got a couple of ex girlfriends who still do.

 

Maybe not, cuz he was tough as hell, but he was still down twice nevertheless.

 

Why LaMotta of course.

 

What George? Czyz got up all the time? Eddie got up vs. Saad?

 

Mark Johnson. In every fights he’s hit the canvas he always lost in the process via stoppage.

 

You would have quit too if you had his shoulder injury

 

The reality is that MANY great fighters never got off the canvas to win. In the case of people like Chavez, Tyson, Liston, Hagler, etc., it is more because they were almost rarely hurt, than because they suffered from some inherent flaw in their character/courage..

 

Tommy Hearns?

 

Lennox Lewis.
