Mostly every top Heavyweight has visited the canvas though Louis was knocked down by Galento and Braddock and was on the floor 10 times himself...
it's not stupid at all. Yes Marciano beat fighters technically better than Williams but were either of them in their primes ? or were any of them...

As is the case with alot people on here they fall into the trap of believing "flavour of the month" mentality. Don't get me wrong Dubois has done...
