    Damn, this guy is like Frankenstein's freakin monster, just walking through all kinds of shots and he keeps coming.

    The most recent fight that I saw like this was Margarito versus Cotto. Cotto landed just about every punch and punch combination FLUSH on Margarito and Tony just walked right through it and walked Cotto down.

    Jose Ribalta Mike Tyson. Ribalta took an unbelievable beating.

    Ali had to think Frazier wasn't real in their fights, especially fight number one! Cesar Chavez probably caused a lot of opponents to wonder that about him as well.

    Foreman vs Moorer was pretty unbelievable at times, considering Moorer had legitimate Heavyweight power, and so many flush shots were being landed.

    Cotto vs Margarito
    Frazier vs Ali I and II
    Vitali vs Lewis - both of them to be honest.

    I have no clue if his gloves were loaded in this fight, and due to my nature I will call him innocent (in this case) untill found guilty (doubtful at this point). But his gloves had nothing to do with his chin, he took some solid shots and kept on coming.

    Villasana/Garza

    Shavers/Cobb

    Cobb/Norton

    Anything from Foreman's comeback. Morrison, Moore, Stewart all come to mind.

    Mercer/Cooper.

    Exactly PhillyPhan! In the first six or so rounds Margarito barely landed a single punch on Cotto, while Cotto landed big shots and awesome combinations. I have never seen Cotto against an opponent where he was able to land so cleanly and so often. Yet the Margarito train rolled on and right through.

    Recently, it'd be jm marquez against Diaz. He soaked up those clean shots and didn't change or alter a thing and just hung in that pocket with his feet and hands in the same position.

    From years ago Chacon==Limon 4. How those guys hung in there taking those shots I'll never know. And those weren't jabs those guys were absorbing & there were lots of body punches as well.

    Another that came to mind was Hearns vs. Hagler. Tommy raked Marvin with some great shots in the first couple of rounds.

    I always think of Holmes-Cobb when considering the Frankenstein analogy with regards to boxing. Tex was an automaton in that one.
