    2x by Bonavena
    6x by Foreman in their first fight
    2x by Foreman in their second fight

    So...ten times in total.

    Contrary to popular belief I don't believe Frazier was dropped against Bruce but rather received a standing 8 count.

    But Frazier never fought any power hitters besides Foreman and he got wrecked both times. Quarry hit hard and Bonavena, but I would rank him a lot higher if he fought and beat Lyle, Shavers, and Mac Foster. Personally I think he was lucky, and Quarry beat all three so he wouldn't have to fight them.

    I can't find anything on the Bruce fight. You have any sources?

    He'd have probably kept on getting up against Foreman until he lost on points!

    Mike Bruce definitely dropped Frazier.

    Some say Joe was dropped in the second and stopped him next round but most have him being dropped in the first for an 8 count. Either way it was a solid legitimate knock down that Frazier has talked about himself. It was Joe's second pro fight while Bruce was 4-1-0 which makes it rather inconsequential for me.

    All right. Thank you for clearing that up John. Can you point to me where Frazier delves into it? I'd be genuinely interested.

    It is in Smokin' Joe: The autobiography of a Heavyweight champion of the World, Smokin' Joe Frazier.
