    I have Floyd at 19 but I could be missing some.

    I'm not sure of the answer but I know one thing. Martin Bakole knocked every heavyweight champion in history down several times in sparring...

    Carnera was down eleven time in the Baer fight. Throw in the KO losses and you have a winner

    Yes, some have that opinion but I’ll also add that it was one of many before and after the fact. Daniel isn’t the cleanest of fighters as we’ve seen in other fights also.

    And, despite all the KDs, only one man actually kept Floyd down for 10 counts.

    IIRC, at least one of the KDs recorded against Floyd (vs Ringo I think) was more than dodgy.

    There might be other KDs that are arguable against but not sure.

    Floyd’s early career balance in and of itself wasn’t too hot either.
