    Anyway, The Brown Bomber comes to mind.

    Who can forget Winky Wright, as well.

    Australian bantamweight PAUL FERRERI was never counted out in 96 professional fights!

    Australian & Commonwealth champion Ferreri went 8 years (for 50 wins, 3 losses and 5 draws) before being stopped on cuts by Mexican KO king Carlos Zarate.

    Zarate’s at the time was undefeated in 42 bouts, an amazing 41 by KO, and nobody had ever lasted more than 10 rounds with him before – most lasted many fewer and were counted out on their backs!

    It would be another 10 years, in his very last fight, before Ferreri would be stopped again, this time by Ray Minus from the Bahamas. The stoppage is listed as a TKO in round 10 of 12.

    Ferreri’s full record was 78 wins (26 by KO), 13 losses (2 by stoppage) and 5 draws.

    So in 96 fights Ferreri was never counted out!

    Did Zarate land a lot of bombs on Ferreri's chin?

    Mosley is a great choice.

    And nods to the poster that mentioned Winky.

    Floyd Mayweather of course.

    Agreed. Did Ferreri have a tendency of cutting?

    Shame if he did.

    Great stuff Henry, thank you.

    Didn't Everett fight down around supermiddle early in his career, Toney style? Crazy stuff.

    I've seen the Bowe match and Bowe only stopped Martin on cuts. Had him against the ropes most of the fight and was just pounding the **** out of him.

    Also, he went the distance with Wlad when he was still a bloodthirsty offensive minded machine.

    Are you a fan of Everett's, Henry?

    Any other recollections of him?
