    Prince Charles Williams after getting dropped hard by Bobby Czyz in the 2nd and then hurt again early in the 3rd. He took control in that wild 3rd to dominate the rest of the fight.

    Chris Eubank against Michael Watson is an obvious example.

    Although, I think Watson's defeat and serious injury would not have occurred if his neck hadn't struck the rope when he went down.

    I think Marquez got up a fair number of times in other fights too so he’s a fair inclusion.

    I wouldn’t call Larry Holmes feather fisted and I don’t think any of the 44 people he stopped would either.

    Well, the thing is he only won one time after getting dropped..

    So I wouldnt have him in the same category as Louis, Trinidad and Patterson. And Oscar De La Hoya.

    But he sure as hell could fight after getting dropped too!!

    He was dropped by Leonardo Cruz was that the fight you’re talking about? - I’ll add that in nearly every fight I’ve seen with a live body Gomez gets hurt and wakes up, that’s more what I’m getting at.

    Nigel Benn was very dangerous when hurt; the same was true of Iran Barkley.
