prominent fighters that never caught a beating?

Well, if I am not mistaking, the topicstarter excluded flash KOs, which are rightfully not called beatings.
Which means, Rockhold never got a beating.
Dude that wasn't a flash ko. He was knocked the fuck out.

But I'll play along. If that wasn't a beating then neither was hendo-bisping.
 
Lyoto Machida..you said beat down and dominated, ...not choked to death
 
I was gonna say Gegard but damn even he was beat down recently. I really cant think of any prominant fighters who havent been beat down.
 
Have you seen the Yoel Romero fight?
I dont believe that was a beat down...until late in the third round he tripped Lyoto, putting Machida on his back. Romero then rained down a fury of brutal elbows to his head that made the ref stop the fight. That was a typical finish. I would call a beat down someone that gets beat up from round one to the finish, EX: Roundy Rousey vs Holm
 
Floyd mayweather. With his talent and skill, he could maintain that defensive style. Plus he handpicked his opponents.

UFC I would say Cruz. He lost by choke to Faber but the closest he came to getting beat up was dillashaw. Tj did put a hurting but not a sustained beating.
The 1st run of his career he fought the best of the best. The 2nd half he was the BIGGEST PPV draw and had to pick fighters at a certain times. No fighter in his era was at his level. He is older than PacMan and if he and PacMan fought in 2010ish, boxing would have no fights to promote. Khan, Ward, GGG were not close to be names then. We all, including them had to wait until young stars came around to have that fight.
 
Maybe Rockhold
Khabib
I beg to differ...

I don't ever remember Nick Diaz getting beatdown worse than he gave out in a fight.....maybe I am not remembering that good. I know he got cut vs KJ Noons and they stop it, and he has lost a few fights. I just really don't ever remember him getting his ass beat up.

I think he is the best of his era. But I also believe he fought in a weak era. Plus he waited out manny until his skills had diminished enough that Floyd would be able to defeat him relatively easily. It had nothing to do with the sport of boxing. It was dollars and drug tests. So Floyd just waited.

GSP gave it to him in GSP fashion.

I don't know about beat up, but he looked pretty bad after gomi. He was wearing those huge sunglasses
