    Can all the killjoys leave this? Of course he lifted Joe off his feet. That's what makes the fight game whether true or untrue. It's all about the folklore. Now leave it!

    How does it matter if the punch directly or indirectly lifted frazier off the ground? the point is the punch was so damn hard that it made frazier LITERALLY leave his feet and go down to the canvas. Period.

    Vitali was well on his way to stopping Lennox before he was pulled out of the fight? You mean stuff like that?

    Of course it didn't lift him off his feet. I always thought that was stupid. Joe was starting to go down and instinctively reacted. He is trying to remain upright and keep his footing and it turned into a strange jump.

    Tyson was lifting people off the ground with his power

    But he is of course the most powerful puncher in the history of the human race

    it looked like he was lifted up a little off the ground. With a guy shorter he is so compact that he can get lifted and still stay up also. Foreman was such a strong puncher,and he was 4 inches taller than Frazier. Didn't Tony Tucker landing on Tyson lift him a little and Mike did some little steps back to regain his footing?

    Joe's left leg had gone to sleep before the KD. He was struck on the ropes and simply couldn't move away from George's walloping roundhouse slugs :bbb

    Corrie Sanders caused Vitali's feet to leave the ground with a body shot in the eighth round of their fight. True or false?
