    Ok so seeing the Tyson thread inspired me to make this one. So....

    From what i remember:
    Floyd Patterson
    Muhammad Ali
    Michael Spinks
    Juan Meza
    Wilfred Benitez
    Marvelous Marvin Hagler
    Gene Tunney
    Jack Dempsey
    Sugar Ray Robinson
    Roberto Duran
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Felix Trinidad
    Carlos Monzon
    Emile Griffith
    Wilfredo Gomez
    Arturo Gatti
    Larry Holmes
    Rocky Marciano
    Alexis Arguello
    George Foreman
    Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
    Aaron Pryor
    Tyson Fury
    Joe Louis
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Bobby Chacon
    Danny Lopez
    Ruben Olivares
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Thomas Hearns
    Michael Carbajal
    Hector Camacho, Sr.
    Gilberto Roman
    Marco Antonio Barrera
    Erik Morales
    Archie Moore
    Bob Foster
    Diego Corrales
    Miguel Cotto
    Arnold Taylor
    Eusebio Pedroza
    Kelly Pavlik
    Soo Hwang Hong

    Thats off the top of my head. Note that the list includes flash knockdowns, popularly "perceived" slips and in Mayweather Jr's case, a hand touchdown cause he had broken his hand against Carlos Hernandez, but which was counted as a knockdown.

    Anyone u remember? Men or women?

    It's so common is it worth making a list about that? It might be faster to make a list of those who haven't, but then there's reasons for that too like not being allowed to be knocked down. Seems a bit pointless

    I think the matter is...its a remarkable thing you know, getting dropped and up and winning. My grandpa used to say it was the mark of a true champion. (whether thats true or not is debatable but he was referring to having courage to overcome adversity)

    I think getting dropped 3+ more times and winning would be interesting. Wladimir Klitschko did that, and though I'm certain I know another champ that did, he's the only one that comes to mind.

    Juanma was knocked down 15 times in his career without getting stopped. Unbelievable.

    Surprised Pernell Whitaker isn't mentioned. He's been dropped before by Roger Mayweather, Buddy McGirt, Poli Diaz, Julio Cesar Vazquez, Disobelys Hurtado and still proceeded to win.

    First that comes to mind: Archie Moore getting floored 4 times against Yvon Durelle, but still coming back to win!
