Yes yes i know...not exactly ground breaking information but i think some of these new retarded fans this sport seems to be creating need a reminder of this.
This is Boxing. Everyone is one punch away from being knocked the **** out. Yes even Mayweather. Even so called ironed chin fighters can be knocked out cold if that perfect punch lands in the perfect place. This is no Pacquiao defence thread either before the Mayweather fanboys get their knickers in a twist. I was very happy for JMM when he finally got his long deserved official 'W' over Pacquiao. There's a reason why most other boxers even Mayweather are not killing Pacquiao for his brutal knock out defeat, they know full well even they are just a single punch away from suffering the same consequences, maybe not as bad maybe even worse.
It happens. Boxers get knocked out. Some get knocked out worse than others but that's why the world loves this sport so much. That's why it's such an exciting sport. I dont understand why we seem to be creating a trend of calling for fighters to retire everytime they get knocked out.
Dont you worry about that. Boxers know everytime they step into the ring they are 1 punch away from being knocked out. It happens and can happen to ANYONE. That's Boxing. As long as they can live to fight another day then just wish them good luck on their return to the ring if they wish to do so rather than calling for them to retire everytime they suffer a knockout loss ie Khan, Pacquiao etc.
is fighting with a terrible defense & getting hit repeatedly with flush shots considered fighting at the highest level? Can someone fight at a high level by not taking unnecessary punishment?
how does that relate to anything that i said? If you fight at the highest level YOU can then you will take shots. Some of those will be able to knock you down. Some of them could knock you out under the right circumstances. If you go through your career not taking any punishment at all it means you havent challenged yourself, at least not as much as others.
Weird, where was all this anyone can be knocked out talk when Hatton was knocked out? Where was all this talk when Cotto was stopped? Funny how a KO is no big deal when it is Manny whose ass was laid out cold and embarrassed for all the world to see. Now it is ohhhh it can happen to anyone! Ohhhh it is no big deal!! Ohhhhh it happens!!
Go to hell all of you Pac excuse makers. I don't care how Pac was doing in the match before he got KOed....he got KTFO, period. That was the most vicious KO since Martinez KOed williams so deal with it. Stop making excuses and making it seems ok....if Pac had a better skillset and technique and boxing IQ he would not have been in that position.
If Pac returns get ready to see more of those too...as I said....once that magical KO happens..more are sure to follow. His mystique is GONE and it is not coming back. He is going to be setup by everyone now with that counter right when hes jumping in watch and see. He can say what he wants too, his confidence is shaken, regardless of what his mouth says.
I feel for you fanboys i really do. You and your fellow fanboys including Pacquiao's are a stain on Boxing.
Ouch :D
That hurt BattlingNelson me old chum, that hurt.
:lol1:
On the other hand a guy with the username Battling Nelsonmy wouldn't have the slighest input on the subject. :)
Since the TS has the username "Roy Jones Jr.", it's safe to assume he can reveal everything you need to know about the subject. :lol1:

besides Hagler...YEAH! lol
yeah anyone can get Knocked Out, but for some fighters it is extremely hard to get to them to land the big Power Shots, JMM is like that and so is Bernard Hopkins and of course Mayweather and even if you do land big on them they usually recover well and recover quickly
It is all about styles and the way you fight, if your all offense and reckless then YES I think chances of you getting knocked out is VERY HIGH!
I feel bad for the very few good Pacquiao fans. They have to have posters like these on their team.
Outside of 3sun2 and check_hooks, every pacquiao fan I have seen on this site and in real life have been very humble/gracious in defeat.
Can you name any pacquiao fan, besides those two, who are making excuses because I sure can't.
Only the careless ones get KTFO!
Not really. Even defensive fighters can get it as anytime you throw someone can time you/counter your punch.
The only sure fire way not to get KTFO is to use a Clottey like defense throughout the entire fight.
You may not win a round or land a punch, but your guaranteed to leave the fight with your health in tact.
while i agree with what you said ! i am not really sure if marquez should recieve 100% credit for knocking out manny because look at the evidence !

I don't know what's more ridiculous; Your excuse or that black crayon (along with the 9-9 round 3 score) you used to judge this fight.
Yes anyone can get knocked the hell out. I thought it was common knowledge. Freddie Roach said he was never hurt then all of a sudden he got knocked out. It just depends what situation you put yourself in. If you are careless then it will happen sooner or later. That's why always keep a tight defense and keep a good balance at all times

Come on man.....leave that sh1t out of this thread.
Hahah wow are people still on the footstomping . Manny came forward with a double faint jab Marquez came forward with a counter right bomb end of story . Why not bring up Manny tripping Marquez on his knock down? Oh right cause your probably a bias prick. And really knowledgeable boxing fans know this happens which is why none of then bring it up. Sorry mods for the first post rant . As for the op. Yes any one can be ko'd anytime just some are a lot harder to and others are just defensive wizards that dont get ko'd.

****, if Maquez hadnt stepped on his foot, Manny probably wouldve fallen out of the ring WWE style.
GTFO with that foot stepping crap. Had nothing to do with that punch being as devastating as it was...

Agreed! Anyone who fights at their highest level has the chance of being knocked out/down. Actually i think a lot of the time it shows that they havent consistently challenged themselves if they dont...
And before the mods go deleting this thread, this thread is not about Pacquiao - Marquez. This thread is about a general point of boxers being knocked out. I just used the Pacquiao - Marquez example because that's the one freshest in the memory.
