    Default 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.

    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Cooper v Holyfield rings a bell. Evanders stubborn pride still won't let him admit he was ruled down eh

    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.
