Implies that if a boxer is fighting with his hands down, eventually that man will go down with a knockout.
The Term was coined by Delonte West of the Cleveland Cavaliers after nailing a Game Winning three pointer against the Washington Wizards in the first round of the 2008 NBA Playoffs. They gave Delonte an open shot without a hand in his face, and it lead to a knockout 3 pointer.

"Hands down, man's down" means that if a boxer if fighting with his hands down, he's going to get knocked out (man's down). Some people inaccurately credit this expression to Delonte West. But anyone with ANY knowledge of rap music (not to be confused with hip hop), knows Method Man fathered the use of this saying in pop culture in 1996 on Redman's "Do What Ya Feel."
"You catch cal when you browse through my X-files,
who be next now
Man's down, hands down (i.e. hands down, man's down)
Foreground by your side when it go down..."

Particularly anything that has been handed down from one person to another. Preferably known as "cheap"
"Look at this dude walking into the club with these hand me down shoes on."
"Boy please, were in so much poverty right now that the closes thing you will get to Jordan's is your father's hand me downs back from class of 86'"

"Hand me downs" are items, usually clothing, that's passed down from one person to another. It's especially common growing up in a poor/lower middle class family, where your older brother/sister gave you their clothes when they grew out of them.
My mom said I would grow out of this shirt size in a year, so she gave me my brother's hand me downs.
