    wasn't Rahman the only one who ever floored him?

    Yup. Dropped twice in that fight and escaped with a gift draw.

    Down pretty hard against Allen Green. Came back to score an even harder KO.

    He was down against Carlos Ortiz, but I'm not sure it was counted.

    Trying to think, did Valuev ever get knocked down?

    If so, he may be the worst fighter to never suffer a knockdown.

    Did you invest the 93 seconds it takes to watch the actual clip? If so do you think it wasn't Tua?

    I confess, I just saw it, and since I knew Rahman floored him, I thought it was him. That's Monte Barrett, right?

    Valuev suffered one official knockdown in his fight with Elistratov.

    Was Maurice “Termite” Watkins ever knocked down.

    Had 69 career fights (five losses and two draws) and was never stopped.

    Went the distance with Saoul Mamby for the 140-pound title and also lost decisions to Howard Davis and Alfredo Escalera.

    Fought a lot of nobodies but a few decent wins — beat Arturo Leon and Rocky Ramon. What I’d call a world-class club fighter. Odd result vs. Normal Goins: they went the full 10 rounds to a no contest and Boxrec notation says both men were “thrown out” by referee (I’m guessing it was a glorified sparring session), but if they weren’t ‘fighting’ why let it go the full rounds before doing that?
