Past or Present do you think there has been a fighter who has never been knocked down

Marciano only slipped twice so you could include him. You could also start a thread about fighters who have been knocked down more often than Louis(very difficult to make a list indeed).
And there's probably Valuev.

I don't think Oliver McCall was ever knocked down. If anyone did knock him down they'd probably come out and say it. Even Tyson could never knock him down in sparring.

I don't think Chuvalo has ever gotten knocked down.

Slipped? Marciano was also dropped in sparring by Toxey Hall, so that counts him out of this.

Speaking of slips, the only credited knockdown of Marvin Hagler against Juan Roldan did look su****iously like a slip. McCall and Chuvalo are both good calls too.

I know Marvin Hagler was never legitimately dropped as a pro. He had a slip once that was ruled a knockdown and commentators were still talking about how bogus it was years later.

The 3 fighters I had in mind have already been metioned so I'll endeavor to make a 'poor mans' list....

Vitaly Klitschko
Nicolai Valuev
Terry Marsh

I believe 'Tex' Cobb went down several times during his career. He was knocked down four times and stopped in the first round against unheralded Dee Collier although some believe that the fight was a fix.

He also went down in the 9th against Eddie Gregg.

Good call.. Can't ever remember him ever going down..
Although I never rated him, I don't believe Sven Otkke was ever knocked down either..
I think there may be 1or2 other Germans to.. What about Henry Maske & Axel Schultz?

Also Toney & Hopkins?
