    Quick question for you guys, how many fighters do you remember becoming an all time great fighter after taking a vicious knock out? I am not talking about getting hit to the gut and getting floored, I am talking about how Judah got knocked out and forced to do the chicken dance by KT. Who was able to become great after such a beat down? And I am not referring about a fighter who was already an all time great and afterwards got KOed, ala Roy!

    Azumah Nelson, after the viscious beat down that the great Salvador Sanchez gave him.

    Hearns was great before Leonard and great after.

    Pacquiao was KO'd twice (weight drained, whatever)

    Lennox Lewis confirmed his greatness even after KO losses.

    Sandy Saddler, Harry Greb and Henry Armstrong were both stopped within their first few fights, in Greb and Saddler's case the only time they were truly stopped in their entire careers.

    It's really irrelevent, but here comes the **** storm that always ensues on General.

    Joe Louis is the most correct answer.
    Honorable mention, Jack Johnson.

    Arguello! along with Armstrong were KO'd in there first carrer fight, and Alexis was KO'd not long after that. Both are two of the greatest fighters in history.
