Hardest punches a fighter recovered from

[Sleepwalker]

I'm going to start with the more well-known fights:

Floyd taking that monster shot from Shane in the 2nd round

Clay taking that left hook from Henry Cooper

Benitez getting rocked by Leonard

[SugarBoxing]

Benitez getting rocked by Leonard

Leonard getting rocked by Duran's left hook:

[Big-mike13]

Tim Bradley getting smacked around by Provodnikov.

[powerpuncher]

Tim Bradley getting smacked around by Provodnikov.

Or Bradley getting knocked down by Holt in the first round.

[beenKOed]

Ortiz and Berto getting up against each other twice. That was a battle!

[Beanflicker]

Everything anyone can think of will come second to Nigel Benn getting knocked out cold by Gman and going through the ropes, somehow managing to get back in and beat the count, and then fighting on for another 9 rounds and actually winning the fight.

[walrus]

Alvarado Rios no 2 Alvarado got wobbled badly from a perfect jab. Rios went in for the kill but Alvarado tied him up and was able to recover. I don't know if anyone else remembers, Mike's legs went to complete rubber. I actually thought it might be the end of the fight. If Rios was able to get in a shoe shine it would have been waved off or a ko, as you know, Mike went on to win the fight.

[Spicoli]

There were a couple of times I thought Julian Letterlough RIP had actually killed Julio C. Gonzalez

[Vendettos]

Thompson recovering from David Prices straight right to beat him in fight II.

[X]

In terms of history changing recoveries, how about Buster Douglas getting up and then continuing to ring Mike Tyson like a bell?

[El Kabong]

Holmes getting up from the bomb Shavers landed on him.

[Marty]

Calzaghe getting floored by Byron Mitchell and getting up to stop him in same round

[Ron Swanson]

Holmes getting up from the bomb Shavers landed on him.

I'll 2nd this. I assumed it would be mentioned straight off and end the thread.

That punch is absolutely perfect. Strange thing is it didn't sound like a punch, it sounded like a person breaking a baseball bat against a tree.

[Bill Paxtom]

Ron Lyle

Recovering from Earnie Shavers left-hook.

'Inhuman'

[El Kabong]

Ali recovering from Frazier's left hook in their first fight.

Foreman getting up from Lyle's big bomb


...also the fact that Stanly Ketchel didn't die from Jack Johnson's GIGANTIC right hand is impressive
