Roid Jones is one that stands out. Although to his credit he managed to hide it for much of his career.
A few mentions for Lewis but i don't necessarily subscribe to that. The two times he was stopped he was caught with absolute bombs.
Against Vitali he took some flush shots and stayed up. He was also in with some dynamite punchers without being in any trouble.
Jones has been caught before, I wouldnt necessarily say he has a bad beard because he has been hit with some hard shots before. The one punch Jones did get KTFO out with anybody would have went down on.
I've heard various conspiracy theories about Roid being able to continue but not having the heart.
Having seen the fight, i disagree wholeheartedly.
But that wasnt on his chin, the shot that put Roy down was on the temple. I think Roy was broken down as a fighter in the Tarver fight and Glen destroyed the rest of the pieces Roy forgot to pick up.
Roy has been caught but I see your understanding (and a lot will agree with you) because Roy wasnt very hittable and when he was hit (in recent memory) he had gotten knocked out.
On a side note, I wasnt a Jones fan at the time but it really worried me when he was on the canvas. I was concerned for him, the Tarver KO didnt devastate him that much. I thought he was paralyzed or suffered something like Gerald Mclellan.

He certainly stayed down for a long time.
In the Glen fight though, he didn't seem (to me anyway) interested. His work rate was non existant but when he did actually produce a flurry of punches, he looked quite impressive.

Why he didn't do it more often baffles me.
Ohh yeah he was down for a good 8-10 minutes, which was insane because they just showed him laying there and nobody seemed to help him up or anything like that.
He was super lazy in that fight he pulled a poor mans Leonard and just threw flurries. It had me laughing when Merchant would be like ohh Roy is just breaking him down and letting him tire himself out and when Roy would throw his flurries Merchant would be like here it comes and like 10 seconds later nothing happened. Cracked me the hell up, it also made me chuckle when they said Glen was fighting like an amateur and he will tire out early for Jones to take over and then it didnt happen and Glen fought the same way round after round.
That fight was pure comedy that ended in a tragedy.
