    Larry Holmes after being dropped by Earnie Shavers, Muhammad Ali after being knocked down by Chuck Wepner and Sonny Banks.

    Crazy how Duràn was able to wore out prime Barkley and drop him, without getting pieced up after.

    Felix Trinidad. With the exception of the Hopkins fight, came back stronger and often knocked the opponent out.

    I dont think he was..at least not officially.....but he sure was hurt!

    He was dropped by Yem.

    He does get hurt and wakes up, like you said. Look at his fight with Derick Holmes, which, depending on whether you count amateur bouts or not was their only bout or their rematch, and Holmes had knocked him out in the first round of their amateur match!

    Same goes for when Holyfield actually got hurt. Only fighter I've ever seen whose natural response to being genuinely rocked/hurt was to immediately go all out on offense.

    Time to add Inoue after seeing him dropped last night. Inoue has now been knocked down twice early in fights and he's shown that he fights even better as the fight goes on. It's as if the knockdowns are a wake up call to awaken the beast in him.
