    Chuvalo: Was stopped but i don't think he was ever off his feet

    Hopkins was down twice vs Marcado years ago. Echols also knocked him down, and hurt him in thier first fight, but it wasnt counted cause Echols hit him on the break.

    Mayweather also has a recorded knockdown that SHOULDN'T have been called, against Carlos Hernandez. PBF had injured his hand while landing a punch on top of Hernandez's head, then bent down in pain, and Hernandez took a swing. The punch didn't land, but the ref said Mayweather Jr's glove touched the canvas (which as far as I remember, it HADN't).
    So no matter how you look at it, yeah he's been knocked down, officially and unofficially.

    Yep, that's right. If I recall correctly his glove did sort of skim the canvas though.

    He should have down vs Judah though.

    Oliver McCall, David Tua(unless you count that off-balance sh*t at the end of Rahman II after the bell), Ike Ibeabuchi, Samuel Peter

    Yeah a knockdown was recorded against him when he fought Juan Roldan. Bad call by the ref though.

    George Chuvalo was never put down despite facing these fighters in 90+ fights:

    Muhammad Ali
    Cleveland Williams
    Jimmy Ellis
    Floyd Patterson
    Joe Frazier
    Jerry Quarry
    George Foreman
    Oscar Bonavena

    Pretty Amazing Really

    was Jose Luis Lopez ever down in a fight? If he was i never saw it.

    I count the Rahman-Tua rematch as a KD... wasn't off balance he was just caught in between punches while they were both exchanging. imo that was the best way to end that fight with Tua getting clocked after the bell and put on his ass after cheap-shotting rahman in the first fight

    IMO Chuvalo should have been called for at least 1 (arguably 2) KD against Oscar Bonavena... Mercante Sr ruled them slips. Chuvalo wasnt hurt but i feel at least one of them was a legitimate KD

    I don;t think Randall "Tex" Cobb was ever down
    people have mentioned McCullough and McCall - great chins

    What's most amazing is he still pretty much has all his senses despite the countless beatings he absorbed.

    Tua, unless you count that time where rahman hit him right at the bell in the 12th of their rematch.

    Myung Woo Yuh, a long time jr flyweight champion during the 80s was never knocked down.
