Fighters who have never been stopped/knocked down

[yoitsdan]

Hopkins has never been stopped.

True...but he's been dropped 3 or 4 times.

Twice by Mercado, once by Mills Lane, & I think...that Echols downed him on a slip.

Hopkins is one tuff fwocker...still can never understand how people don't dig on my guy...but to each his or her own.

The ref tripped him over then called it a knock down?

[SweetPea]

David Tua is another one. His losses to Ibeabuchi, Byrd, and Lewis were all by decision. Was he ever knocked down?

Echols downed him twice. In the first fight it was a shot while the ref was breaking them up. And in the second it was a body slammed that put him down. Echols was, is a tough fighter.

Hasim Rahman dropped him once

Nah babe...I aint being serious...he did knock him down...but it wasn't a call...it was me being silly. It was during one of the Allen fights. Lane pushed him through the ropes more or less trying to stop it.

The Echols take down was horrible. That S*** was like a throw down as VD stated. It happened in either the 6th or 7th round & the Nard had to fight the rest of the match with his left arm...he ended up kicking the S*** outta Echols. TKO'd his a** in the 10th. I do remember that much about it.

Oh, one more thing, before someone tries to post it, Valuev doesn't count!

When your best opponent is John Ruiz, you lose the privilege of making my list.

YES HE DOES!
unless your going to go through every other fighters record and pick it apart too! Is it now an objective qualification?

OK. OK. I'll leave off Valuev!
How about this tough SOB Canadian?
He was NEVER knocked down,though he was stopped by Foreman And by Fraizer. He's a repost.

George Chuvalo, (born September 12, 1937) is a former heavyweight boxer who was never knocked down in ninety-three professional fights between 1956 and 1979. He was Canadian heavyweight champion as both an amateur and a professional, and twice fought for versions of the professional world's heavyweight title.

Chuvalo was born in Toronto to Croatian parents. While a student at Humberside Collegiate Institute, he became one of the best-known amateur fighters in Toronto, fighting out of the Earlscourt Athletic Club. Chuvalo became Canadian amateur heavyweight champion in May 1955, defeating Winnipeg's Peter Piper with a second round knockout in a tournament final in Regina, Saskatchewan. Later that year, he made front-page news after being hospitalized and arrested following a fight between rival street gangs in Toronto. Chuvalo finished his amateur career with a 15-1 record.

Nicknamed "Granite JAW," Chuvalo turned professional in 1956, knocking out four opponents in one night to win a heavyweight tournament held by former world's champion Jack Dempsey at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto on April 26, 1956.

As a pro, Chuvalo is best known for his two fights against Muhammad Ali. He went the distance both times. The first fight, on March 29, 1966 was for Ali's world title and went fifteen rounds, with the decision going to Ali. "He's the toughest guy I ever fought," said Ali of Chuvalo after the fight.[1] Ali's cornerman, Angelo Dundee, said, "He never stopped coming on ... you've got to admire a man like that."[1] The second Ali fight was in 1972 and also went twelve rounds.

Future world champions Joe Frazier and George Foreman, despite being big punchers, were unable to knock Chuvalo down, but they were the only fighters to stop him, scoring technical knockout (TKO) victories. Foreman — regarded as one of the hardest hitters in boxing history — mauled Chuvalo, bombing him with punch after punch. Yet, in his typical display of toughness, when the referee stopped the fight in the third round, Chuvalo said to him, "What are you, nuts?"
Chuvalo's biggest victory was a seventh-round knockout of contender Jerry Quarry on December 12, 1969. In addition to his losses to Ali, Frazier, and Foreman, Chuvalo also lost to former champion Floyd Patterson in a bout that The Ring named fight of the year for 1965. He lost to WBA heavyweight champion Ernie Terrell in 1965 and to former WBA champion Jimmy Ellis in 1971, with both of those fights taking place at Maple Leaf Gardens.

Chuvalo was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1990. He lost two sons to drug overdoses, another son to suicide and his wife to suicide after that. His remaining son, Mitch, has become a successful teacher and coach currently working at the University of Toronto Schools. Chuvalo currently tours giving lectures against drugs and actively participates in charity work, for which he was made a Member of the Order of Canada in 1998. He was awarded a star on Canada's Walk of Fame on June 5, 2005 for his remarkable career and influential life. On May 9, 2006 he was presented with an honorary WBC Heavyweight Championship belt in recognition of his continuing contributions to the prevention of drug abuse.

Tough in and out of the ring!!
A typical TOUGH SOB CANADIAN!

It was my good fortune that the first time I saw Hopkins fight was his rematch against Echols where he knocked him out with one arm. I've been kicking myself for not putting money on his fight with Trinidad for years. Been sold on him ever since.

[BrooklyniteQueen]

Put Wayne McCullugh on this list. His stoppage loss was nonsense. He's never been down either
