Can you remember a world title fight when both heavyweights went down?
This is what Barry Hearn asked Evander Holyfield at ringside on Saturday -
“I think it was one of the best heavyweight fights. I always thought Ali-Frazier – the trilogy – was the best, but of course there was only one knockdown in the first one, when Ali broke his jaw. I spoke to Evander Holyfield on Saturday night and said to him, ‘Can you remember a world title fight when both heavyweights went down?’, and between us we couldn’t.

Dempsey v Firpo

Cooper v Holyfield rings a bell. Evanders stubborn pride still won't let him admit he was ruled down eh ;D
Re: Can you remember a world title fight when both heavyweights went down?
Cooper vs Moorer (if WBO counts)
Re: Can you remember a world title fight when both heavyweights went down?
Was there no title involved for Holyfield Bowe III
And didn't he get a standing count against Bert Cooper?
I could be wrong there

Yes I think Evander was stopped from hitting the canvas by the ropes and took a count there.
