How many "Undefeated" fighters were KTFO in championship fights??

Merely stopped, or "KTFO"?? These guys being named weren't KTFO, as the title of the thread says.

Trinidad and Lewis finished their fights stumbling on their feet. Nunn too, he got up and the ref stopped it (not authoriatively) when Toney went to finish. Foreman was trying to get up when the Ali fight ended, he certainly wasn't knocked the ---- out.

Moore was stopped on his feet, the ref and his corner were in la-la land and didn't bother to stop it. Jose Torres was the commissioner and he basically had to stop it.

Hide was dropped like a thousand times, he wasn't out cold or even close to being out cold.

Trying to think of some examples....Mike Tyson doesn't quite qualify as he wasn't KTFO. He was totally out of it however, searching for his mouthpiece.

 

Taylor was iced by pavlik. He asked his corner if he was ko'd
