Which of these knockdowns of fighters with some of the greatest chins ever is the most amazing? (only looking for knockdowns, not KOs).
definitely frazier dropping ali. the history of that knockdown is great when joe told ali "gods going on his ass tonight" come nothing beats that. hagler slipped and chavez's legs where together, but frazier landed a bomb and the fact that ali got up from that was what him ali
Rahman taking out Lewis with one punch was pretty spectacular, can't remember the McCall knockout.
I must say that I thought there was an element of a slip in the Hagler 'knockdown'
I said Randall-Chavez because I remember being in total shock when that happened.
morrison, mercer :jabbing:
earnie shavers knocking down larry holmes dont know how holmes got up from that
foreman lifting fraizer of hes feet and fraizer still got up and wanted more unbeliveable  henry cooper knocking down ali  larry holmes knocking down marvis fraizer  iran barkley knocking down tommy hearns 1st fight  gerald knocking down benn with barage of punches and one most saddest knockdowns i see eubank knocking down watson :(
Same here. Chavez had the longest streak of not being knocked down in so many fights so when he was knocked down everybody gasped:o heheheh.Quote:

I'd take Joe Frazier dropping Muhammed Ali anyday
Evander Holyfield knocking tyson out was kick ass 42 -1 underdog
Has to be Ali-Frazier imo. The greatest KO's are Patterson's leaping left hook to regain the title and Bob Foster's KO of Dick Tiger.
For me the most memorable knockdown was Randall Chavez.
(It was very sad day for me) :(
Since I have been a Boxing fan just since tyson as I was a Kid i'm not a great veteran like some of you here but I can say a lot of Tyson, Tommy morison, among others mostly Heavy weights but the las Most impresive KO I have seen that took some time to stop talking about is the Tarver KO to RJJ since it came out in the mix with the historical first time coment like Tarver did that day ( I have never seen something like that before) """
referee- "any question?"
Tarver - "yes, I have a question!"
Tarver - "You got any excuses tonight Roy"
Boom KO to one of the greatest of all time by a punk.
Holyfields knockdown of Tyson was shocking cosidering all sports writers except one(Ron Borges) picked Tyson to destroy Holyfield, but your thinking Buster Douglas as a 42-1 underdog. But to me, what comes to mind was Kevin Howards knockdown of the original Golden Boy Sugar Ray Leonard, that was really a shocking and impressive knockdown, a friend of mine lives in N.Philly and saw Kevin Howard pushing a beat up shopping cart while collecting cans on the street and rooting thru trash for cans abouy 15 yrs ago, he said he was a straight up crackhead. It's a sad way to end up.Quote:

Most impressive Knockdown in history?
Most impressive has to be The Surgeon bringing down JCC. As said before NO ONE had seen JCC anywhere near the canvas. (Just saw that fight last night :'( )
Most memorable has to be Ali-Frazier for who it was.
Yep Henry Cooper actually knocked down Ali and hurt him worse then anyone else ever did, includin Joe Fraizer. If not for the BS that Angelo Dundee pulled after that devastating knockdown, I'm not sure if Ali could have continued. He totally underestimated his opponent that night and was rocked big time for it.Quote:
