    Technically lots of iron chinned fighters were stopped at one point or another, but they were generally stopped on their feet, on cuts or other technicalities. McCall I think is a great shout for being one of those almost impossible to (genuinely) stop heavyweights of all time. Lewis was hitting him with full force power punches while McCall was sauntering around the ring blubbing, and the most effect it had on him was to make him flinch a bit.

    Exactly. This fanboy/hater narrative is so old & played out that it's beyond pathetic.

    Ali had a 61% KO ratio. Not extraordinary, but not bad considering the ATG's that he fought.
    Tyson was emotionally fragile since the day he was born.

    Gained mostly against smaller men, with a few exceptions.

    He only managed to KO a small percentage of those ATGs, and due to accumulative punching. And please don't bring ups Liston's dive or Foreman punching himself out.

    A stupid myth that has been perpetuated by clueless "experts".

    There were a number of fighters that went the distance with Jones that were nowhere near the level of Calzaghe and Ward.

    Holy didn`t hit near hard enough to even hurt Ali, Holy would have ben outboxed by Ali who hit just as hard as Holy.
