Boxing/knock down

Question
Hello Jackson.
How many times a boxer can be knocked down before he should resign and do not fight any more?
Thanks a lot
Luke,
Well it just depends. If a guy is getting knocked out on a regular basis he will likely get suspended or banned from boxing by the athletic commission.
Getting knocked down and knocked out are 2 different things. Personally if I were to get knocked out 3 times during my career I would hang it up because this can have long term effects on your health.
If someone is getting knocked out often, especially like every 6 or 7 fights, they definitely need to call it quits. It's just not worth it to put yourself in a health risk.
What it boils down to is the fighters abilities. I would ask my self if they are getting knocked down from lucky punches, a weak chin or they just have bad defense.
good luck
