    Well, he always had an above-average chin, right till the end. So no flash knockdowns for him, he was always knocked down hard. And those KDs happened when he was clearly past prime or undertrained, if not completely washed up.

    It took Danny Williams around 20 punches to put him down.

    I know it wasn't a knockdown, but if the slip in the Bonecrusher fight had be ruled a KD, then technically that would be the fight where he had to climb off the canvas to win a fight.

    No but Tyson Fury has 6 times and always dominated the following round(s) or the very same round. Knocking Fury down feeds his fire into a raging inferno.

    Pretty much the same for Roy Jones Jr.
    Didn’t handle adversity well and had no Plan B in a fight.

    The times he did fall he was mentally and physically finished, he had a great chin and never got dropped fresh although he was buzzed clearly by Bruno.
