I think your just missing my point because you like the idea that Zab was able to properly put Floyd on the floor. Sorry.

I'm not saying that according to some sanctioning body it wasn't within the rules of being scored as a knock down... I'm saying it wasn't a real knock down... there was no power in the shot and it didn't hurt Floyd more than any other glancing shot would of.

People are saying that Zab properly knocked Floyd down as if he had the skill and work rate to be able to bring the fight to Zab enough to floor him. Not try... a proper knock down (again try and forget some sanctioning bodies for a second here if you can allow your self to actually put your boy Zab in his real place here) is caused by some one getting hit with enough force and in an area that caused either enough trauma to the body to paralyse the legs or enough power to cause a concussion... Zab didn't do that to Floyd... you can use what ever technicality you want and phrase it in a way that makes it sound like Zab rocked Floyd and put him down but the fact is HE DIDN'T.

I'm not a fan of either and once the mayweather and Zab fan boys get lost maybe this fight can be discussed properly with out the massive bias every one (mostly the zab camp) are throwing around. Respect to Zab... he showed up with a good fight but he wasn't good enough. End of.

To answer your question: no, no answer this... if some one slips and touches the canvas from another boxers foot... would that of happened if he'd not been in the ring?
