    The ref stopped the Foreman fight Joe got up everytime even after taking a shot to the back of the head and hit while down.
    Merchante's worst job!!

    Bowe is the only one on that list with the chin and recuperative powers to continue on from that hellacious shot. He might have not even been dropped in the first place.

    You could count to 50 over Lewis's prostrate form. Klitchko would have been on ***** street unable to stand for quite awhile. Frazier would likely beat the count, but go down again and again until the ref stopped it.

    The only one I'd garruntee would get up is Frazier, then maybe Bowe, maybe! The rest would receive treatment from EMT's.

    Who beats the count? Maybe Bowe and Wlad. Who escapes that round? Possibly none of them.

    tough call. I find it hard to believe larry got back up nevermind anyone else. Of the 4 mentioned im not sure any recover from it. Joe MAY try but hasnt got the style to stay out of the way and get a breather. Bowe aint getting hit by no Holyfield and as much as i love evander, his and shavers punch is no real comparison. Still, i wouldnt write off Bowe as he has the smarts to do it. Lewis, im not so sure. If he gets up and can stay out of the way, which he was capable of, then maybe. Wlad, no, doesnt see the round out.

    Do you really think that Foreman fight should have continued?! Frazier was gone even if you take away the punch to the back of the head, how the hell was he going to come back and how many more times do you think he would have gone down?! He knew he was beat.

    That was a knockout punch every single time ... except that one time. I have no idea how Holmes got up.

    Nobody else gets up.

    Thats not what my answer was about.
    Of course he was a beaten man all im saying he got up every single time. That being said the question was who could have gotten up from Shavers punch and based on the Foreman fight I said Frazier

    Maybe because it wasn't a knock out punch.
