Roberto Duran knocked down:

Dejesus I.....1X
Dejesus II........1X

Hearns.............1X (more, yes/no?)

I can't think of anyone else flooring him in his career, anyone else floor Duran?

Duran was floored in the 1st in his fight with ....... Hernandez (can't remember first name!

) when he was about 47.... he went on to win on points over 10 in a pretty lively fight. I think this was the fight Duran had just before he fought Joppy in that awful match for the middleweight title.

Not sure though.

i don't think any knockdowns there, but joppy did use duran's head for a speedbag for 3 rounds, total mismatch.

Yeah, christ knows how Duran made 160 for that bout, never should have happened... but even then Joppy couldn't put him down which shows the mans tougness and heart!.
