In the history of boxing, did any challenger get dropped 2X and win a belt?

What agenda? That Fury won the fight everyone on the board KNOWS that. You keep quoting me. Don’t take such interests in my posts. Cheers. And please stop with personal attacks.

 

Ok, if we're talking about knockdowns suffered in DIFFERENT rounds… than Eddie Perkins was down in both the 1st and 14th, when he beat Loi on points for the junior welterweight title.

 

Looks like we might have a winner!

Let’s hope the parameter doesn’t change and it has to be 12 rounds as the Perkins Loi fight was a 15 round UD.

 

Congrats...but the weight of knockdown in separate rounds is significantly less in a 15 round fight than a 12. Do you have any confirmation that the ten point must system was used? Knockdowns didn't used to count for as much.

 

"The 25 year old Eddie Perkins battered 33 year old Duilio Loi for nearly 15 rounds Friday night to wrest the world junior welterweight crown from the Trieste-born strongman before a capacity crowd of 20,000 at Milan's Velodrome. Eddie was on top throughout the fight and the closest he came to any trouble was when he slipped to the canvas in the 1st round and was flipped onto his back in the 14th by strange ju-jitsu like tactics by Loi." -United Press International

 

I would assume, the 5-points system was used! It doesn't say so on BoxRec, but their first fight, the year before; was scored that way. Since both fights took place in Italy… my guess is, that the same scoring system probably was used.

 

Well here is a link to an article about it..

Was going to say Corrales vs Castillo but that was unification.

 

Nigel benn v 'g man' ??

 

Well, let's face it, it did happen. It just wasn't official.

But fair enough.

Some people have cited examples since this post, so it's not something without precedent, just quite rare.

 

It was also a stoppage win. The win needs to be on points as per the OP.

Absolutely amazing fight though! Still up there for me as one of the best!

 

Again this was a stoppage win. It needs to be on points as per OP.

But going back to this fight actually...we've talked about the supernatural powers of Fury's recovery in the 12th.

But Benn was knocked out and knocked through the ropes in Round 1 but still managed to get up and climb back into the ring and somehow survive the round! Amazing heart!
