    Nikolai Valuev wasn't dropped.

    EDIT: Just realised it had already been mentioned.

    That wasn't fair! Coetze had a bionic right hand...had titanium or steel or iron in it. Spinks couldn't deal with that
    space age hand.

    Spinks always came out punching like a mad man. Made his fights fun to watch.

    Try doing it for CW world champions. There's some I'm not too familiar with but I've done a bit of checking and almost all of them have hit the canvas at some stage. I'm not sure if Zsolt Erdei was ever floored or not but he was a LHW who only fought above the LHW limit 4 times and he only weighed 178¾ when he won the CW title against Fragomeni.

    There are 1 or 2 others I'm not sure about too. AFAIA, of the current crop of champs only Dorticos has been down as a pro.

    Vitali was a titlist. He wasn't a champion.

    Neither were lineal, both were champs.

    Lineal died with Lewis. If one of the current champs fully unifies, they will create a new lineage and be "lineal". Until then, when people say "lineal" in reference to Wlad, they really just mean Ring magazine champ. Vitali was also Ring Magazine champ.
