Benny Bass and Red Chapman floored eachother with right hands at the same time in the opening exchange of the ninth round during their title fight in 1927. this is the oldest "double-knockdown" i've heard about

HOF'ers that lost their very first pro fight.

JMM should be in there (I'm sure he'll be in the HOF some day. Wilfredo Gómez got a draw in his first fight as well, but I don't know if that should be counted.
