    That's him. Ain't no cruiserweight anymore either. But he looks good and is sound.

    Tell him he's a hell of a fighter and plenty of us will always remember his fights.

    I wish him well.

    Are you seriously counting a fight as an 18/19 year old amateur against a quasi-professional world champion??????

    Delahoya dropped him. Also i dont know if it was ruled official but Reyes Cruz definitely clocked Camacho clean and he went down:yep

    Zack Padilla had a great chin and never dropped, although stopped on cuts early in his career. Dont think Marcos Villasana was ever dropped.

    Pete Sanstol was knocked down maybe once, but never knocked out in 110 fights. Stylistically he was compared to Battling Nelson, another iron man from Northern Europe.

    For sure...

    Rocky Marciano went 49-0 (43) overall and 7-0 (6) in HW World Title Fighst and was only down twice. He went on to stop his opponent both time he was down.

    Kid Gavilan was never stopped in 143 pro fights. He was only down twice.

    Mike McCallum was never stopped and only down twice in 55 pro fights.

    Ricardo Lopez went 51-0-1 (38) overall and 25-0-1 (20) in World Title Fights. I don't thnk he was ever down.

    V. Klitschko has never been down but has been stopped twice.

    Hector Camacho, Steve Collins, James Toney, and Riddick Bowe have never been stopped.

    Just a few that popped up in my head

    Saw Graham many times live..His great trainer Whitey Bimstein once remarked that he never saw Billy Graham visibly hurt...If Graham could hit
    hard he would be in the top 10 Welterweghts...

    What d'you mean Hagler? You can't discount the official knockdown he suffered against Roldan if you aren't discounting McCall's stoppage again Lewis. Either you can't McCall aswell or you don't count either. Simple as that.
