    I think if you go back you might fine others that had more BUT Patterson is the general answer to this question. Carnera was down at least 18 times.

    Floyd Patterson 21 times

    Correct!

    What 3 brothers all scored knockouts on the same card?

    Frazier Bros. fought at same time. Marvis, Rodney, & another one? Tough one. How many stitches did Mustafa Hamsho require, after his fight with Marvelous Marvin Hagler?

    55 Very good! Yeah, I think they were cousins. But wasn't there a third Frazier fighting at the time? Or a couple Of Weavers were active at the same time? Mike Weaver WBA Heavyweight Champ.

    What was the mw weight limit when Fitzimmons won the crown and what did he change it to before it eventually reached 160?

    Ah, But Rodney was the cousin or a nonrelation, who took the Frazier name. Out of respect for Joe. Something like that.

    In this book im reading it says Nonpareil Jack Dempsey was champ at 154lbs, it then says ' Dempsey was dethroned by Bob Fitzimmons, who, in keeping with the practice of the time, named a new weight limit of 158lbs since he could no longer make 154lbs. The limit crept up in stages to 160lbs'

    Thats what it says here like, but if you know otherwise then your source may be better than mine.
