    I hit my opponent so hard that he was counted out while standing on his head, who am I?

    His opponent went over backward so hard that his feet flew up to where his head had been a moment before and had not the ropes protected him, he would probably have suffered a broken neck. But his knees rested against the top rope and there he remained, unconscious, while being counted out.

    No the guy I am looking for was counted out while his head was on the canvas and his legs were up in the air.

    Could it be Dick Wagner's ko of Jack Nelson in Madison Square Garden in 1951?

    They both fought the same 2 World Champions, who were also in the HOF. One World Champion was a Heavyweight and the other was a Light Heavyweight. One of them also fought Harry Greb.

    Another wild guess. Stanley Ketchel hit Phil Jack O'Brien so hard, Obriens Head landed in the resin box koing Jack in 1909. They both fought Jack Johnson. Ketchel could HIT...

    Not the one you are looking for, and not quite how you explained, but Sir 'enry did a very similar thing when he (pretty famously) smashed Joe Erskine though the bottom rope, leaving Erskine hanging there, on his head, but his legs on the other side of the ropes rather than caught up in the middle or top rope, in November 59.

    It's not Ketchel/O'Brien and it's not caught on film. This was written up years ago in the Ring Magazine, and the article also had the Ketchel/O'Brien bout as well.

    The fighter that won, had an official record of all KO's won and lost. He never won or lost an official decision. The other bouts he had was no decisions/newspaper decisions, and this is by BoxRec.
