    Not knockout, for once, just knockdowns where the fighter rose to continue fighting. I know what my choice is:

    Go to 1:01.

    When watching the knock down, concetrate on Palomino's face and you can really relate to him; repeating it on film over and over, even I can't see the punch clearly. Duran's jab completely disguised it. And how quick? Balanced, accurate, unexpected.

    Another thing, just skip to 3:12. Look at that ****. That happened all night for Palomino.

    I still think this fight is the most flawless performance I've ever seen.

    See 4mins 56secs.

    This is my favourite non-KO knockdown, because every time I watch it I cannot understand how the hell Leija manages to beat the count, and fight on for a few rounds afterwards. Utterly bizarre. The way he crumples to the ground looks exactly like he has been totalled... then he gets up! Amazing.

    Love this knockdown. Excellent overhand right from Freitas.

    one of the knockdowns of Lewis-Briggs where Briggs looked completely out on the canvas but then stood right up. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iot4TsevWLI[/ame] go to 6:20

    Look at Fernando Vargas' whole career.

    Man got up from a ton of knockdowns that looked fight ending. I submit the Trinidad and De La Hoya fights.

    Add Mosley II in there. It technically counts, even if Nando was stopped almost immediately after.

    The left hook that Donald Curry landed on Milt McCrory in the 2nd round. One of the sweetest I've ever seen. To the letter of your example, McCrory did get up, just not for long.

    A perfect punch from one of the best punchers ever, yet Ray's down for only a split second.
