In heavyweight boxing, even the best fighters lose sometimes and get knocked out sometimes. Only a very few ever escape this fate.
Does it lessen any of them? OF course not! What your basically claiming here is that guys like Dempsey/Marciano are better than all the other champs that did get knocked out.
Completely ignoring the fact that these 2 boxers in particular fought in the war eras where the talent took a MASSIVE dive, and neither man ever even FOUGHT a decent 200+ HW, let alone beat one!
Want to know what would happen if Puritty or Sanders got unleashed against Jack Dempsey?
Purrity would score a touch down.
And Sanders would land a hole in one!

Greynotsoold said other than the size the skill of these fighters like Wlad were not on par with Tunney.
You bring sanders and purity into this just shows the stupidity of your argument. What skill do they have compared to Tunney.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Sanders is more skilled than Tunney. He has exceptional handspeed and snaky short southpaw inside shots. Sanders is actually a very good boxer, let down only by his conditioning at times.
Puritty is nothing special in the skills department at all, a convert from Gridiron. But Puritty is so strong and powerful there's no contest.
Neither would ever be allowed to knock out Tunney, no fans would ever see them knock out Tunney, they'd both be accused of a disgusting mismatch were they allowed to, and in effect, they would knock Tunney out with the first connected square punch! And brush off anything from Tunney as if it were nothing.
As for Wladimir, your trying to compare the most perfected technical style of all time by far to a crude drunken-style light HW boxer from 100 years ago?
