    Marion Wilson, record 12-41-4, never stopped.

    Have a look on Boxrec at his record, it's rather impressive in a way, 6'1", 77" reach, he wasn't a huge heavyweight.

    Marion fought names like Oliver McCall x2, Samuel Peter, Tony Thompson, Rahman, Ike Ibeabuchi, Corine Sanders, Shannon Briggs, Kirk Johnson, Andrew Golota, Ray Mercer.

    A journeyman who was brought in for rounds, basically brought in to get beat but stay upright and all these very solid heavyweights (who could punch) couldn't stop him.

    So its either Cobb (his coke dive doesn't count) Chuvalo or a hesitant unproven Mcall, holyfield was ko-able, Ali is a strange one koed by lessers but not huge punchers

    "It's one thing to call me white and slow. But to call me a fat, cocaine snorting, fight fixing cheat! Who are they calling fat?"...

    If he didn’t want the fight stopped he should have tried fighting back. It’s easier to stay on your feet when the ropes are holding you up while you do your best petrified turtle impression.

    That was not a knockdown with Vitali vs Corrie. Sanders pulled Vitali over his feet.

    Bro, why do you keep saying a "hesitant, unproven McCall"? That is the opposite of reality.
    He won a major & lineal championship, also earned a *few* other straps, 5 total. He did not fight only nobodies & compile a paper record like say McNeeley or some European fighers who only fought lower level competition at home.

    He was a World Class fighter, nobody said the very best, but his amount of experience & years in the ring is huge. He was 51-8 when he was 42.
    Ironically he fought Marion Wilson & the latter was disqualified for repeated holding!

    He fought big modern HWs. Never even down in the amateurs, the 436 rounds in the pros, even sparring 300 + rounds with Tyson. This is *extremely* rare.

    He also did not KO more than just over 50%-so he was not blasting everyone out, he was well tested in 73 fights Even until over 53 & a 1/2, & while just 5-5 since he turned 45, nobody could get him off his feet.
    Lewis could not even dent him when he was eating bombs unprotected & having a mental breakdown.
    Marion Wilson was "unproven" as a good fighter & tied up/spoiled frequently, not McCall. That description of The Atomic Bull makes no sense.

    Even Tua, in less rounds since a much higher KO%, was down-& stopped as an amateur.

    Cobb had a Ko loss to Dee Collier & the MMA spark out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_"Tex"_Cobb
    Wach had 3 TKOs-what are the circumstances that show he was as impervious to punishment at Chuvalo or McCall?

    "Valuev suffered one official knockdown in his fight with Elistratov".
    While he had a great chin, being so massive & 7' tall (& looking so scary lol!) he just did not endure as much punishment as others. It was hard for guys to get as much mustard on a shot, at least to the head, when you are dwarfed. So his chin, like those who spoil often, was not tested as intensely as others.

    It would take an Atomic Bomb to put down the Atomic Bull.

    McCall, Chuvalo, Foreman, Ali, Cobb, Mercer has a chin to.... but all time I’m going with McCall.... he’s been hit by some huge punches and never even been knocked down.
