Which fighter is the most durable fighter in boxing today, so durable that it seems impossible that he would be ko'ed? How about elusiveness, can't get ko'ed without being hit. Who's KO loss would surprise you the most? Here are my picks:

Vitali Klitschko
James Toney
Bernard Hopkins
Antonio Margarito
Miguel Cotto
Jose Luis Castillo

I can't see any of these guys getting ko'ed.

Castillo may be the toughest of your list, Asian....& he'll be put to the supreme test when he faces the sport's biggest hitter in Corrales.

Hopkins.....not only does he have incredible toughness, but he seems too crafty to get KO'd.

If Corrales doesn't KO Castillo, no one will. Hopkins is too crafty to get ko'ed, and it's very rare we see him take a hard, flush shot.

Cotto just looks like a guy who is getting hit by fighters who are 15-20 lbs lighter than he is...

Oh, ****....THAT IS THE CASE !

Wayne McCullough seems unstoppable in the chin department. As old as he is Oliver McCall can`t be floored. Of the champions i`d say that Hopkins probably is the least likelest to be stopped. Based on toughness, chin and savvy!

you forgot to put tyson
on that list. tyson has been
tko'd and counted out but he
has never been put to sleep
like Roy Jones. When tyson
loss to holy it was a tko,not put
to sleep like RJJ.
when tyson loss to lennox
he stayed down on purpose.
when tyson loss to williams
it was because his knee got ripped.
when tyson losss to douglas
the ref stopped it, tyson was getting up.
Iron Mike Tyson belongs on your list.

Castillo has been stopped before and Margarito couldve got KO in his last fight. Cotto hasnt been in enough fights to be on the list and he has stamina questions to answer which itself could lead to a KO

At which point did Vitaly go down? I have seen this fight a few times and never was VK even close to going down. He got a good bomb from Sanders and klinched but if you call that a KD than fights would have KD every 30 seconds. BTW, I haven't seen claims that Lewis headbutted Vitaly, nor have I seen it in the fight. (I was there, it was extremely cool)

01-19-2005, 12:46 AM
If I'm going by speed and agility, Hopkins is the top choice. His body movement and ring savvy make it nearly impossible to land a good one. As for pure toughness and elusiveness, I'd say VK. This is a guy we have seen take some pretty nasty punches and he doesn't even go down. Very hard man to knockout IMO.

Amen to that, Anyone and everyone can be Knocked out, But My choices for best overall chins would probably be (in no order)
1)Morales(been dazed plenty hurt a few times even knocked down a couple times that I can remember, but always gets back up somehow, extremely tough!)

2)Tua(been out for a while but I still don't see him being ko'ed by anybody out right now)

3)Toney(we'll see hopefully soon , how he responds to a clean punch from a true heavyweight but right now he's on my list.

Others: V. Klitschko, B. Hopkins, Winky Wright, Ben Tackie, L. N`Dou, Jesus Chavez, Glen Johnson.

As for Tyson, True he could at one time take a decent punch and keep coming, but to me it seemed that after he got out of prison he had changed to a fighter looking for a way out of the fight once he would get hit clean. Hence the ear biting, Attempted arm breaking, and countless other incidents, But one thing is for sure his ass got ko'ed by Lewis,Douglas,and Holyfield. I' didn't include Williams simply cause even though he got counted out + had a hurt knee he clearly was not wanting to fight after the 1st rd. and the knockdown w/ knee injury was his way out.

every fighter is knockoutable. one punch can end it all. untill last year i thought that roy was unbeatable let alone knockoutable, but he suffered one of the most brutal knockouts i have ever seen in boxing. When W.klitchko was on top, everyone thought he was too good to be get knocked out but he was humiliated badly at the hands of average rated boxers. so a knockout can come to anyone, Bernard Hopkins better watchout.

01-19-2005, 05:39 AM
DLT, did you even see that fight with Johnson and Hopkins? Johnson was never knocked down or seriously hurt, the ref just stopped the fight because he was being so outclassed. If that fight happened now, they wouldn't even have thought about stopping the fight. The reason the fight was even stopped was because it happened around that time all those deaths were occuring in boxing, so the comissions were really paranoid. I remember that whole year they were stopping fights when the guy would just get wobbled a little.

I see guys are throwing out names like Antonio Margarito, L. N'dou, Vitali Klitschko, Winky Wright and Glen Johnson. All these guys have been buzzed or seriously dazed in the past. Johnson was even stopped by Hopkins. If Shane Mosley can daze Wright (albeit for a few seconds only), I believe a Trinidad for instance can definetely stop him. Lets not forget a figher named Juarez almost stopped N'dou (was badly hurt and out on his feet) and Margarito was stunned by Santos a few times.

My picks: James Toney (based on his track record) and David Tua.

Damn even feather-fisted Byrd had Tua hurt in their fight. If they have a chin, dig to that body...there's a weak spot somewhere.

Lewis was a lot harder to fight than he thought,2. He hits very hard. Tua decided to be content with going the distance and lose-than to try to really presure Lewis and risk getting knocked out. Tua didn't presure Lewis, he followed him around the ring-you dig?. Later brother brolog.

There is no such thing as an unknockoutable fighter. Every boxer can and probably, will eventually get knocked out. it's the nature of the sport.

It's about who has the least favorable conditions to get knocked out.

justin04
01-19-2005, 09:41 PM
vitali klitschko has a decent chin - lennox lewis of all people tagged him pretty good a couple of times, and he took it...

i'm gonna make everyone yell at me by saying that vassily jirov is the most un-knockoutable fighter around these days, even though he's been tko-ed twice recently. hear me out: the guy uses his head as a punch-absorber, like he doesn't even care that he's getting hit - i've almost never seen a heavyweight take as many solid head shots before going down as he did in the james toney fight - so i'm saying that because he absorbes such huge ammounts of punishment before going down, he deserves the iron-jaw award for the heavyweight division. if the guy actually learned some defensive skills he'd be a top-10 heavyweight, james toney level.

I agree.

But in relative terms, one of the hardest to knockout these days is Nedal Hussein. I saw him got hit hard a lot by Pacman and Larios and not even see a change in his facial expression or even a small trembling of knees! If this guy could only improve his boxing skills, he will be tough to beat.

If you can drop you hands against a fighter who is naturally 20 pounds heavier than you and is the hardest puncher in their weight division you are damn close to un****withable. He did get knocked down but down and out are two different things as far as putting him dwon from head shots not sure it could happen.

We're talking "unknockoutable" and you mention a foolish fighter (for dropping his hands against Tito) who just got knocked out? I agree he has an excellent chin, but the fact that he was stopped (head or body shot) eliminates him from consideration.
