getting up off the canvas to win.....
many great fighters have done it, but there are a few all time greats who, every time they hit the canvas they were beaten.KO'd...
lennox lewis is a prime example of this, floored only twice i think....and both times counted out (McCall and Rahman)
any other fighter who never rose from the floor to grab victory from the jaws?

Re: getting up off the canvas to win.....
I would say though that the heavyweight is slightly different. If you get hit with the shots that lennox did, then 99.9% would not/struggle to get up again.

Roy Jones never recovered from a knockdown.
One of my fave 'come back from a KD to win' is Bowe-Holy 3. Fair play to Riddick Bowe that was a heavy fall for a big lump.

I always say that Akinwande decked Lewis as well. Ref never counted it.rhino222 wrote:many great fighters have done it, but there are a few all time greats who, every time they hit the canvas they were beaten.KO'd...

He was knocked down and came back to win a few times though. It happened a couple of times very early in his career.landon wrote:dela hoya against hopkins, he got stopped with a body shot i think only time he got counted out

Archie Moore rebounded from THREE first round knock downs to come back and overwhelm Yvon Durelle in the 11th round of their epic first fight.

It usually takes something big to knock a big guy over.

Julio Cesar Chavez - think his first KD was against Randell, went on to lose.
other KD's against Tzsyu, DLH, both resulted in him losing.
Thing is he had one of the best chins in his prime
