Prime Tyson got Knocked down in the best syle. He only slipped once (slipping is horrible) and went down in awesome fashion to Douglas. Against Holy he went down pretty cool. In the end he started going down horribly. The way he went down to Williams was OK, but the way he got KOED by Lewis looked crap. He "slipped" in the 4th against Lennox. My vote for the worst? Joe Frazier. He always went down horribly!
Among modern fighters: Looks bad when they drop: Zab Judah, Manny Pacquiao, Wlad Klitschko Looks good when they go out: Ivan Calderon, Yuri Foreman
Going down in style is an easy one: Danny "Little Red" Lopez, and it ain't even debatable! Danny used to get knocked down so hard and so often people accused him of "planning his knock outs from the seat of his pants." When Danny retired the now defunct Boxing Today magazine did a huge article on his career. The name of the article? Danny "Little Red" Lopez: Knock him down, he'll get up and kill ya!!
Yeah, Hatton has had both the funniest, and the most spectacular knockdowns in recents years. Two other men who deserve mention are Fernando Vargas and Hasim Rahman. Vargas had very dramatic knocdowns in his biggest fights... while Rahman has had both dramatic AND spectacular knockdowns throughout his entire career. Those are all guys that go down and go in style. Dishonorable mention: Wladimir Klitschko. The man's knockdowns often look like a drunken homeless man falling all over himself in a street fight. Terrible things to watch. :verysad
he always looked like a clumbsy drunk trying to chase the pavement home after a good session down his local pub... especially when Vitali was tossing him around the ring like a bloody rag doll
I wish we had the chance to see LL get up. It was a fair but fast count. It would have been cooler if he got up and fell down again.
