What Great Fighters Were KO'd? Not TKO'd, But KO'd?
Of all the great fighters who suffered losses, who are ones that got knocked out, not had a fight stopped, but were on the canvas and got counted out? Even though a TKO counts as a KO, it's not the same. Guys have been TKO'd and didn't even get decked. Other's got dropped, but reached their feet and the ref stopped it. The two biggest names I can think of are Oscar (from Hopkins) and Duran (from Hearns). Also Roy courtesy of Glen Johnson comes to mind. Who else is there?

Pacquio, might be the first high profile fighter to do a full faceplant too?

The Ref could have counted to 10,000 over Joe Walcott.

Ruben Oliveras going out against Herrera was as messy as they come. Cervantes taking 10 from Pryor? Argue greatness but Terry Norris out vs Brown was something.
Sometimes the 'tko' can be more brutal in that a ref immedialy waves it off seeing no need to count. Where as some 'ko's can see a guy hitting ten as he struggles up. Duran v Hearns?...think he could have counted to twenty if not waved.

Funny that since this thread was made there had been none noteworthy until Pacquiao got wrecked last month. That really will be a historical KO, Manny is the only ATG other than Roy Jones to suffer a bad knockout in many years. I guess that speaks more to their having only been a few really "great" fighters active, but still. Manny isn't chinny and he'd never seen the canvas in 36 rounds against Marquez, it was a monster punch.

Donald Curry by Mike McCallum.
That was a pretty good KO. And Curry was considered great at the time.

Henry Armstrong, Sammy Langford, Georges Carpentier, Wilie Pep, Sandy Saddler, Jimmy Wilde, Roberto Duran and Archie Moore are all in my finest 10 fighters ever, and have all been KO'd in a pro fight.

I agree, Joe Walcott got hit with that right by Rocky and sank to his knees. His arm was stuck on the rope and that was the only thing that kept him up when he was unconcious! He wasn't goin nowhere-that was a KO.Joe Walcott
