    What fights can you remember where a knockdown came out of absolutely nowhere? It may have been a otherwise dull point in the fight, then BAM! The knockdown wakes you up...

    De La Hoya - Mayorga, round 1 (one of the best knockdowns I have ever seen. Mayorga was doing ok, backing Oscar up, then, BANG! Left Hook! The bar I was in erupted. Probably because it was filled with about 80% Mexicans that night.)

    Khan - Prescott (must I explain this one?)

    Jones - Tarver II (once again...must I explain this one?)

    Pacquiao - Hatton (okay, cheating a bit here, since Hatton had been down twice already, but still...the 10 seconds remaining alert was heard, the Brits were singing, Hatton was winning by a "country mile", then, as Stewart put it, "there it is."

    Tito vs Vargas round 1..... Vargas had never been down in his life, Tito had a reputation of somewhat of a slow starter (at least putting an ! on things towards the championship rounds after having broken his opponent down a bit) and BAM, vargas is hurt and down....

    Can't believe no one has mentioned either of the two Pac/Cotto knockdowns, considering I thought Cotto was winning both of the rounds prior to the knockdowns. Additionally, the second one came while Pac was backing up and Cotto was in mid flurry.
