Heavyweight Champs Through The Ropes

No-Mas

Not a trivia question, but just curious. Can you give instances of the Heavyweight Champion of the World getting knocked through the ropes.

I come up with just two and a half:

Dempsey / Firpo
Louis / Baer I

Rahman / Maskaev

I know Rahman wasn't champ when he went through the ropes against Maskaev, but I'l count him anyway.

Any other champ suffer that indignity of getting blasted out of the ring?

Buddy Bear?

Jack Johnson-James J. Jeffries
Rocky Marciano-Roland LaStarza (1953)
Lennox Lewis-Francois Botha

Roland LaStarza at all was not the champion, but the moment was very entertainment, and was that in title fight.

joe louis got knocked through the ropes by rocky marciano but he wasn't champion at the time.

I have the LaStarza / Marciano fight. I don't remember Marciano going through the ropes. I'll watch it again tonight before the Tszyu fight (now there's a great night of boxing - Marciano followed by Tszyu).

Yeah Buddy Baer sent Louis through the ropes in their first fight. Pretty positive it was round one.

Great

LaStarza going through the ropes (not Marciano) after right uppercut. Second fight.
