Ahah! I shall cherish this experience for the rest of my life!!
Thanks Maj ;)
Oliver McCall is THE toughest SOB out there... Never ever close to being hurt never mind being dropped!
Re: Fighters who have never been stopped/knocked down
funny that i didn't see anyone mention Hector "Macho" Camacho Snr. he never has been dropped (De La Hoya only one to actually do it, but since Camacho tackled the Golden Boy it wasn't counted), and he's never been stopped

He wasn't knocked out, it was a flash knockdown in round one in which Vitali had hurt his hand, between rounds Vitali's corner stopped the fight due to the injury.

That is astounding from the Sugarman, especially when you consdier that he took on some of the greatest & toughest fighters in the history of boxing.

David Tua hit canvas against Felix Savon in the amateurs if my memory serves me correctly.

Who are the other fighters of the modern era who have never been stopped?
Even most of the great fighters of the modern era have been stopped at least once in their career. Ali, Ray Leonard, Duran, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Hearns, Trinidad, Barrera, Holyfield, Tyson, Morales, Pacquiao, Azumah Nelson, Lewis, De La Hoya, Chavez, Holmes, Spinks, were all stopped at one time or another.
Off the top of my head, the only longtime fighters who have never lost by KO or TKO are Toney, Hopkins, [size=10pt]Mosley[/size], Hagler, Bowe, Lopez. Whitaker lost by TKO in his last fight, but it was because he hurt his shoulder throwing a punch, he was never stopped by an opponent. Winky has never been stopped, although he was knocked down 5 times in a fight once.
I know guys like Mayweather, Taylor, Tarver haven't been stopped, but they haven't fought the same number of fights as the other guys. Let's make it a minimum of 40 career fights. Who else is on the list?
Didn't Mosley get TKO'ed or KO'ed by Forrest?

I think he HAS to take the cake... Sure there are plenty of fighters who have never been stopped, or even never down.... But they are generally good fighters with boxing ability... This guy has less than 20% wins on his record, and has fought a disgusting amount of big HW punchers... I really don't think anyone could top this fella on toughness and chin alone.. THat must be all he has for christs sake.. Ive never seen him fight, but one look at his record makes you think, what in the hell....

Cc back. Yea, the dude is 35 years old and never been dropped. Most of his losses are controversial too.
Re: Fighters who have never been stopped/knocked down
Salvador Sanchez
Juan La Porte was never knocked out and fought names like Salvador Sanchez and Julio Cesar Chavez his only stoppage losses were once by accidental headbutt and the other was when he retired on his stool.
Kid Gavilan 143 fights was never stopped once plus i don't think he was ever knocked down thats amazing.
Carlos Monzon never stopped in 100 fights.
Charley Burley
Re: Fighters who have never been stopped/knocked down
Whilst all these mentioned have been great,SRR has to be the best by far!! Especially taking into accoun the number of fights he had and how often he fought! Dam! Gavilan,JCC too. And Sal Sanchez was just amazing. Monzon was a warrior! P4P heaviest hands too!
From today's Gerry Penelosa has been awesome and I agree,with a bit of luck,he would be unbeaten.
