    First of all

    *******THIS IS NOT A WLADIMIR HATE THREAD**********

    im genuinely curious and cannot be bothered to go on google and find
    this out myself.

    Wladimir has been knocked down 12 times in his career.
    But its heavyweight boxing after all. your facing the biggest hitters so you will hit the canvas more often than at other weight divisions.

    But aside of Wladimir, have any of the other ATG heavyweights been down as many times?
    or maybe even more?

    Im talking about guys who are pretty universally regarded as the greatest heavyweights ever.

    Johnson
    Dempsey
    Louis
    Marciano
    Ali
    Frazier
    Foreman
    Holmes
    Tyson
    Lewis
    Audley Harisson (j/k)

    etc etc

    Frazier was dropped twice by Bonavena, six times in the first Foreman fight, twice in the rematch.

    That's 10 I can think of for Smokin Joe.

    Joe Louis:

    2x by Marciano
    1x by Galento
    2x by Walcott in first fight
    1x by Walcott in rematch
    1x by B. Baer
    1x by Braddock
    2x by Schmeling

    Larry Holmes:

    3x by Tyson
    1x by Snipes
    1x by Shavers
    1x by Isaac

    Holmes appeared to have touched down against Weaver, but I don't think it was ruled a KD.

    I couldve sworn he was dropped in another early fight, but I can't remember whom.

    Frazier was down more than 9 I believe, He was down 8 times in just his two fights with Foreman.

    Patterson was down like 24 times I think. And many call him an ATG.

    IMO, Wladimir was really down 10 times, I don't count two of the three against Peter.

    This is a trick question on the chinchecker exam! Every good chinchecker knows that ATGs never ever go down. These so called ATG's are a bunch of china chinned frauds!
    The correct answer is:
    SNV = 0 times
