Pound for pound maybe it was Tommy getting up from the knockdown in the first Barkley fight. And even more braver, Steele letting Hearns continue! (from 1 minute 45 seconds). [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iopkeD-B7Qs[/ame]
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bwJSvNQPaY&feature=player_detailpage[/ame] The most picture perfect punch I've ever seen. MCrory did get up from this but was KO'd seconds later by a follow-up right.
The right hand that Max Baer landed on the chin of Max Schmeling in the 10th round of their fight in 1933...Schmeling got up...but was KO'd...nasty shot...
Foreman vs Frazier 1. Frazier literally got moved several feet by Foreman and still got up. I believe him getting up from KD number 4 or 5 was most impressive. Tyson Ribalta, didnt Ribalta get knocked down from a bodyshot uppercut combo and get up? Morrison Ruddock, Ruddock gets nailed with a perfectly timed hook that he turned into, then got up rather quickly. Shout out to Berbick/Tyson, almost comical how Berbick tried to get up three times and did make it up and fight was stopped. Homeboy had mad heart getting up like that.
That's exactly the first one I thought of, in terms of getting up before 10 from a hell of a punch. Steele should have stopped it immediately. Horrible call to let it go on.
Julio Cesar Gonzalez took a ridiculously flush right hand in the 10th round of his war against Julian Letterlough, went down as if shot, somehow got up after looking like he'd been the victim of a homicide...and then kd's Letterlough in the next round. Man, I miss both those guys. They both were great fun to watch. RIP to both...
The knockout shot that Julian Jackson landed on Dennis Milton. Dennis was out before he hit the floor.
