LOL
ATG heavyweight champions do not get knocked down and out by bums either.

ATG Wladimir got knocked down and out by a bummy PUNCHER who weighed 250lbs and was a mountain of muscle stronger than a piece of iron. A fight in which he was dominantly and 1 sidedly bashed this opponent to smitherines until he gassed out, the opponent which only survived long enough because he had among the hardest chins of all time.
I call this a "fluke".
Conversely, Muhammad Ali WAS knocked down by a 180lb bum, and some would say knocked out as well, considering his trainer tore the glove open admittedly more than it already was, gave his man smelling salts and conveniently delayed the break for 40 seconds more than it should have been. Imagine if Wladimir Klitschko was ALLOWED to fight a 180lb bum and this happened to him and he survived in this manner?
You follow? 
Conversely, Muhammad Ali was not fluke KD'd, but was nevertheless outboxed soundly by a sub 200 cruiser, 6 fight green, 26-17 career bum. I would call this no fluke. I would call this being out-classed by a bum which is WAY worse than a fluke KO by a guy who the champ is otherwise obviously better than!
