    Hatton and Dlh didn't quit from body shots. They were ko'd by bodyshots.

    Steve Cunningham went down really heavily against Yoan Pablo Hernandez and Tomasz Adamek and still somehow recovered in very close fights.

    I dont tend to support a lot of American fighters (mainly the Hopkins/Ward/Dirrell clinching) but Cunningham to me is pound for pound more skilled than Jermain Taylor but obviously without the Hopkins scalp didnt get as much recognition having to fight in Germany

    Marco Huck - went onto win the WBO cruiser (still is champ) and in my eyes beat WBA Heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin

    Yoan Pablo Hernandez twice - Top champion and still holds the IBF. no shame in losing

    Adamek twice - first fight was close and fight of the year, second fight should have gone to Cunningham

    Tyson Fury - In line for a shot against Klitschko if he beats Chisora

    Wlodcarczyk twice - two close fights, 1 w 1 l. Now the WBC champion

    Braithwaite, Ross among others . . . . very underated
