    You can see it there on 4:38

    Didn't look like a knock down to me but if you watch his feet eaither they don't slip. It was as much a 'knock down' as some of the 'knock downs' given against Barrett that night.

    It was a knock down, but then Barrett followed in with a cheeky illegal punch after.

    Under the rules of boxing -yes, a punch landed, no matter how grazing, and Haye went down. However, this was blatantly as a result of poor foot positioning combined with forward momentum whch ruined his balance. I doubt the punch had any noticeable effect on Haye's legs or his overall conciousness (unlike the illegal follow up). It's only relevant in scoring, much the same as Wepner's on Ali. Despite the balance issue being Haye's fault, it definitely doesn't bestow any bragging rights on Barret or any of Haye's haters.

    It`s a knockdown because he was off balance and clipped but he was not hurt,well not untill Barret hit him whlie he was down.
