Someone mentioned the punch that Jumbo Cummings landed on him at the end of the first round (think it was about Frank's 16th fight or so) and I remember seeing it at the time live on tv. Watched it again last nigt for first time in 27 years. Luckily for Frank it landed right on the bell but damn he was out on his feet. Had it landed ten seconds earlier Frank would probably have disappeared the same way as Pele Reid did ! Imagine.

Watch it yourself - punch happens about 8 1/4 minutes in. Guess it was a warning sign of what was to come in Frank's career

ko's are never 'good' but the out on your feet still getting punched are bad to look at...then again Hatton taking a swan dive wasn't too pretty either.
