Of all the great fighters who suffered losses, who are ones that got knocked out, not had a fight stopped, but were on the canvas and got counted out? Even though a TKO counts as a KO, it’s not the same. Guys have been TKO’d and didn’t even get decked. Other’s got dropped, but reached their feet and the ref stopped it. The two biggest names I can think of are Oscar (from Hopkins) and Duran (from Hearns). Also Roy courtesy of Glen Johnson comes to mind. Who else is there?
Hopkins KOd Oscar
Mike Tyson
George Foreman
Mayweather if he ever fights Hatton ;D
Hatton if he ever fights Mayweather you mean 
Roy Jones Oscar Delahoya maybe a few others, the original magic man
Henry Armstrong, Sammy Langford, Georges Carpentier, Wilie Pep, Sandy Saddler, Jimmy Wilde, Roberto Duran and Archie Moore are all in my finest 10 fighters ever, and have all been KO’d in a pro fight.
joe louis, ezzard charles -joe frazier, george foreman
Joe Walcott

I agree, Joe Walcott got hit with that right by Rocky and sank to his knees. His arm was stuck on the rope and that was the only thing that kept him up when he was unconcious! He wasn’t goin nowhere-that was a KO.
Jack Johnson was counted out.
I sad clicked ya, cus Roy Jones does not suck. And Johnson threw that fight sucka.
Stanley Ketchall Benny Leanord Jack Dempsey 3 more
Johnson didn’t throw that fight, he was too old to beat that guy.
Floyd Patterson got KO’d
Ingmar Johanssen got KO’d
Sonny Liston got KO’d…that one by Martin was wicked!
Joey Maxim
Gerald McClellan took the 10 count against Nigel Benn, even though he did it on a knee and got up.
Good post.
Lennox Lewis v. Rahman
Trinidad v. Hopkins (far as I’m concerned he got KO’d)
Spinks v. Tyson
Rocky v. Clubber Lang
Might need to brush up on your boxing terms there, Babablooey.
When you get KO’d, the ref counts to ten. Otherwise, it’s a TKO.
I hope I was helpful.
Titofan, I like you. So dont get on my bad side being all technical.
I said Tito-Hopkins was a KO cuz Tito was on a knee at 9, and barely got up for 10, and was clearly still buzzed. Yes, it was a TKO, but I think youre smart enough to get what Im saying.
And thanks for your condolences for MR. NIGHTMARE. He’s in a better place now.
I don’t remember it that way, but what the hell. In any case, I think the thread was mostly aiming at devastating KO’s, like the “one-punch, leave the guy twitching, call the medic, stop the count” kind of KO. When looked at in those terms, Hopkins’ TKO over Tito would qualify even less.
Okay, I see what you mean.
