Iron Chinned Fighters Who Were Stopped

You've got him confused with someone else.

 

Liston always looked to me like he should be solid and durable but was twice stopped by 1 punch.

Napoles was only stopped on cuts in his career wasn't he?

 

Jose Luis Ramirez crumpled by an Olivares body shot
Saad overwhelmed by Qawi
Marvin Johnson very tough and stopped numerous times
P-Dub starched by Sergio
Saensak Muangsurin blasted by Kim
Marlon Starling caught by Molinares
Bennie Briscoe annihilated by Rodrigo Valdez
Tony Sibson mugged by Lotti Mwale
Luis Rodriguez wasted by Nino Benvenuti
Emile Griffith terrorised inside a round by Rubin Carter

 

I remembered it that way but re-watched the Stracey fight past year and, cut or not, it was the punches that got to him eventually. A TKO in every sense of the term though.

 

Dick Tiger

 

But do you think the punches were more devastating because of the swelling?

 

Victor Galindez...he was shot tho when Johnson finally cracked his chin.

 

Jake lamotta

 

Alan Minter had a fine chin (particularly pre-Hagler), but was stpped 6 (SIX) times on cuts before he beat Antuofermo to become UMW champ.

 

Gatti?

 

Edit: didnt read the part about the stoppage being deceiving.

 

Henry Armstrong
Stevie Johnston
Jose Luis Castillo

 

I don't think he could see 'em coming that well, put it that way. But he was badly hurt nonetheless, for me it means very little when judging the quality of Napoles' chin.

 

I agree. He did actually stand up to the barrage anyways.

Either way it seems a good example for the thread criteria i.e. Being stopped but not knocked out.

 

Beat me to the punch, Les. Russ specifically asked for several stoppages, and Scrap Iron had 12. But in two bouts almost exactly a year apart, neither Liston or Foreman could drop him before the halt was called in round seven each time.

Johnson actually had Liston moving in reverse to obtain the stoppage, and clearly wasn't hurt at the end, just not able to be competitive:

Foreman had to settle for an extremely rare cut eye stoppage. Jerry Quarry halted him via second round TKO in 1966, but had to settle for ten round decisions in 1970 and 1975 rematches. Scrap Iron went the ten round limit with a 15-0-0 Frazier one year after JQ I, only the second opponent to hear the final bell against Smoke after Bonavena. The end of his career came on another cut against Duane Bobick, but George was able to draw with a 14-1-0 LeDoux right before that, over 17 years after beginning his professional career.

An intriguing hodgepodge of stoppages, distance losses, draws and even a career best streak of six straight wins before running into Sonny.

Liston, Frazier and Foreman couldn't put him down, neither could Kirkman stop him, yet Blin takes him out in two, and Spencer in four? WTF?:huh I wonder just how many of those non-cut related stoppages were on the level, watching him soak up Sonny's artillery.
