I think Riddick Bowe, Bert Cooper, or Muhammad Qawi might disagree with you there.
Even considering these names, you have to admit this was the worst he was ever hurt.


Riddick bowe- In the first fight, holy got hit in the back of the head and took a knee, although he was hurt he got back up and started fighting again(watch what he does agaisnt Ruiz.) In the 3rd fight, Holy seemed to be more exhausted then knocked out.

Bert Cooper- he hurt him, but Holy never hit the canvas. He took a standing Eight. (we are talking about hurting him the worst)

Muhammad Qawi- correct me if I am wrong, but I think Qawi ever put holy down.
Riddick Bowe KOed him with one punch... Sure he was exhausted but he couldn't make it to his feet and it was only the 8th round.... This happened what... 6, 7 years later and was in the 11th...

Bert Cooper hurt him badly... just as bad as Ruiz did, Holy didn't hit the canvas because Bert had him out on his feet then thrashed him face first into the ropes, he sprung back and almost fell down again, he was completely gone for a couple seconds and it was counted as a KD I think.. Either way, same thing.

Qawi, maybe your right.. He did't put him down although he did hurt him several times, but I guess he never hurt him as much as Ruiz did, just more often.
