Do Prime Great Fighters Get Knocked Out Clean?

[HeadShots]

I'm talking about before 30 yo. once you're past 30, you are no longer physically prime.

Are there any great fighters with solid chins who get knocked out in their prime?

Anyone can be knocked out. Literally anyone.

Depends on how you view his chin and if he's a great fighter, but Abner Mares got sparked out by Jhonny Gonzalez.

My answer was obviously a resounding yes. If you couldn’t decipher that, that’s on you.

If you’re looking for an example, Gene Fullmer, ATG Middleweight, good chin, went the distance with Robinson three times, Tiger twice, went 14 & 12 with Basilio stopping him both times.

However, in 1957, at 25 years old, he had his second fight with Robinson and Ray landed a beautiful left hook which knocked Fullmer out. It’s often referred too by historians as the “perfect punch”.
