    Please, provide a solid argument that it wasn't the punch that finally sent him down but in fact only the foot-stepping.
    He was already going down before the punch landed "genius". A body punch at that. And you haven't established anything other than running your mouth about how the punch caused Ali to go down. Don't try to take credit for something you didn't point out. And I've already provided you with a solid argument. If you're not smart enough to understand it, that's your problem.

        Gene Tunney is an ATG P4P but he did not have the extensive career at Heavyweight that Jack Dempsey did. Tunney was beaten and bloodied up by a middleweight, and then stepped up to floor the Heavyweight champ of the world.

        It would be like if Michael SPinks floored Mike Tyson....

        Jauques Crecy, Pete Rademacher, and Roy Harris dropped Floyd Patterson

        Im thinking about compiling a list for reference purposes, because boxrec rarely tells the whole story (the Mike Weaver KD isnt even listed there)

        Also, some kd's may have actually been slips, and some Non-kd's or (push downs) are still the result of a fighter being wobbled badly, like Vitali in the Corrie Sanders match.

        Anyone have a list for Joe Louis?

          You don't know if he was gonna go down if the punch didn't follow the foot-stepping. What everyone knows is that a punch landed, while Ali had his foot stepped on, and he went down. It's an official knockdown and nothing can change that.

          You have provided nothing. You copy and pasted a Wikipedia article about something that was already said in this thread and that had nothing to do with what were talking about. I asked you to provide me a solid argument in which it could be proven that the foot-stepping alone caused Ali to go down, and you didn't do it.

          Go Wikipedia "******ity".. genius.

            Roger Mayweather knocked down Pernell Whitaker.

            I don't think Roger Mayweather was that great, decent but not great.

              Espn.com is not "wikipedia". Go look up the definition of gravity and balance since you're not intelligent enough to know what it means. And change the name of this your Alt to "bad decision" while you're at it.
