Trevor Berbick got up more times from one punch than any fighter in history.

And Zab Judah's courageous "I'm comin back" warrior dance.

Both men deserve credit to be fair, but Foreman especially so.

George was all but knocked out at one point, yet somehow he managed to get up & flatten Lyle for the count.

Amazing heroics from George.

oh yes FIGHT OF THE AGES, Foreman could have laid down and played dead, and received more money for a rematch, Yes he got up and won, Lyle I believe to be more exhausted than hurt and one knockdown, Big George landed face first!

Let's not forget about Diego getting up from two heavy knockdowns in the tenth round of a brutal fight only to somehow come back & hammer Jose Luis Castillo into defeat with a savage array of punches that nearly decapitated him before the ref stopped the fight.

Not to be unnecessarily morbid, but seeing Deukoo Kim force himself to his feet after 13+ grueling rounds against Ray Mancini with a fatal brain injury was the most startling example of determination I've ever seen.

Tim Bradley got up after going horizontal via a goodnight left hook from Kendall Holt in rd 1. He should have been asleep on the canvas, but he fought hard for another 11 rounds.

Yoo..do you notice about this film: they spell his name Soo Wang Hong at the screen display at the end of tape. Notice how 'smart' them Panama Police are looking (his opp was 11-0-0 going in). If you check the record you may find some other candidates for "getting up". Arnold Taylor is there. Hong put him down three times and BOUT went to a decision (Hong winning. In SA too; Taylor has another bout is his record like that. note: Arnold Taylor passed away/man was in a MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT)
This IS amazing tape! Hong has "tremendous" career. Fights Alphonso Zamora at Zamora's height! Twice in ring there; losing the title stopped in four and 1 1/2 year later he rematches and, goes into r.12 that time [title fights 15]
He is LUCKY he wasn't put down a fifth time there in r.2. &..did he get "eight count" on those K- d? Notice, he is -illegal- "measuring" the opp in r.3. That IS the way to box when someone looking only for Knockout! Notice, he set this up with beautiful body shot.
When I was in AK I had two bouts myself. One in Anchorage for State championship and the other we went to Whitehorse (Can). Were my lines 38 (Can) & 39 amateur. Both of them loses but.. (You know..Can."good"/in Anchorage bit of story but...it was "decision" at least!)
Hong didn't talk to us much of his career. We got him NAME and.."the reference" he was VERY HUMBLE. He used Alphonso Zamora's name, only..as 'marker'. [EVERY LAST SERIOUS FAN KNOWS ABOUT -BOTH- "the Z bombers"]
I'm gonna look for him on Fb!

Hong's last career match came against Dong Kyun Yum in December - 1980. D-10. Yum a EX world champ whom Hong W-12 vs. earlier. IF you look into Dong Kyun record you'll see he lost -Stoppage- vs Wilfredo Gomez (12) where (record say) he has Gomez down in 1ST r.

A lot of the time, boxers get up as a reflex action, a bit like Mike Tyson getting up and fumbling around for his gum shield.

It was six knockdowns and was the fight I was alluding to my previous post.

The right uppercut that caused the second knockdown was one of the hardest punches I've ever seen, delivered by prime Foreman when he was fresh in the fight.

Very few fighters in history get up from that punch, imo.

Anyone that pushes the notion that Frazier had a weakish chin is absolutely full of it.

If the ref hadn't stopped it, Joe would have kept fighting George until sometime last year.thats true :lol:


I think Moore's refusal to be counted out against Durelle and get up and win, is the all time gold standard in this category.
