These are all time great boxers, great KO power (and there are others in the list) and Laporte NEVER visit the canvas. I do not think that many boxers (if any) can say this, facing this kind of opposition. This is one of the greatest chins in boxing history, and had great battles with these names. One of my favorites was his fight with Chavez, and his KO win over Lockridge.

I remember LaPorte. Kostya Tszyu also whipped his a** early in his career.
Early in Tszyu career, by the end of Laporte's career at a point where he should not be boxing. Keep going back in history to make a better judgement of Laporte.
