chavez vs taylor benn vs mcclellan marciano vs archie moore marciano vs jersey joe julian jackson vs herol graham ali vs foreman foreman vs lyle james toney vs michael nunn larry holmes vs earnie shavers 2nd fight i know larry holmes was winning but that knockdown he took off shavers and manage to comeback that was good comeback
The King of comebacks in a fight, IMO is Ancient Archie's first victory over Yvon Durelle. Moore recovered from six knockdowns (three in the first) to beat Durelle in 11.
wow what a comeback 6 knockdowns ouch
just thought of another one george foreman vs michael moorer
Leonard - Hearns 1 was a good comback as sugar was down on the scorecards and his eye badly swelling
yea forgot about that one and iran barkley vs tommy hearns was good comeback
Eubank/Watson II.
not a great comeback but a good one lewis vs briggs holyfield vs bert cooper
I think a comeback is when the losing fighter wills his way to victory someway somehow, Leonard was just plain getting his ass beat then poor Tommy ran out of steam :)Quote:

and lets not forget benn -mclelan
oh and lets not forget vini paz's comback from a broken neck!
Corralles VS Castillo..
Matt Franklin (Saad Muhammad) deserves mention on this thread IMO. He built his reputation on coming back in fights, and that peaked with the amazing July 1980 (The Ring) fight of the year with Yaqui Lopez.
Most of Matthew Saad Muhammad's victories were incredible come from behind K.O.'s, Holmes come from behind against Mike Weaver was a exciting fight, as was Bobby Chacon's come from behind over Bazooka Limon, and Boza Edwards, but in recent times, hands down...Gatti's seemingly impossible come from behind K.O. of Wilson Rodriguez. That's one for the ages!!!!!
it has to be said ali winning the heavywieght title at 32 after bieng exiled is somewhat of a comback!
