    I was just going by Wiki there. Never the wisest idea. What more is there to the story?

    Kind of surprising. He fought some damn good competition when he was younger and held on way too long. I would have figured somebody would have knocked a 40 something Camacho out at some point.

    Raymond Joval.... though he wasnt a world class champion level fighter, still retired without a KO loss.

    The only man to knock out Glen Johnson.......... Bernard Hopkins.. TKO :deal

    RJJ, Froch, Tarver, Ottke, Dawson, Bute, Cloud and others have tried... only one has succeeded... :rasta

    A lot of robberies.

    I'm sure many of his past-prime L's (around half the total) were more on the legitimate side, so in that respect it is amazing.

    How many times has he actually been dropped in boxing?

    I know in his KO loss he didn't get dropped because I saw the fight.

    Can't be many, because once he's dropped he's not getting back up.
    Also the guy has no neck whatsoever, it's just shoulders and a head. His head can't snap backwards, to knock him out you'll have to knock the head off his body.

    He is technically sound and an intelligent fighter and is maybe why up to know he has stayed out of harms way. Others who are similar are Bernard, Hopkins and Floyd Mayweather. Erik Morales too was technically sound but then suffered a KO at the hands of Pacquiao as was drained and against Garcia in the end as went on too long.

    It's about being intelligent and having the technical ability but like we saw on Saturday it can still happen all it takes is one well timed punch
