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?

Lewis got up against McCall, but the ref waived it off.

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.

Lol, i hope your not serious

Sonny Liston

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.

Roy Jones got up to win against Loud De Valle...many moons ago now.

Jones got up to win after Lou Del Valle knocked him down.

Must have missed the Del Valle KD. Thanks. Anyone have footage of it?

I always say that Akinwande decked Lewis as well. Ref never counted it.

He was knocked down and came back to win a few times though. It happened a couple of times very early in his career.

nigel benn he was the master at coming back from the jaws of defeat, ( mecellan fight )

and in the logan fight..

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.

Foreman, Ali, Frazier, Wlad Klitschko

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

Too true. Rosario couldn't put a dent in him at lightweight.

All 4 got off the canvas to win though..even Big George

naz did it a few times, against kevin kelly 3 times in the garden in a classic and daniel alicea up newcastle if i can remember

kevin anderson against mutley was a good one. as mutley almost laided Anderson out early in the fight.
