Haven't read the whole thread, so I'm not sure if he's been mentioned, but I'd say Tony has come back pretty strong since his loss to Williams.
Buster Douglas came back and won a few fights after losing the title.
Leonard after losing to Duran.
almost cliche at this point But....Glen Johnson ;D
Charles Williams
Pernell Whittaker
Tommy Hearns
Roberto Duran
Bernard Hopkins
Gerald McClellan - not after the Benn fight obviously...I know we have some sick posters but this was to focus on after his first loss very early in his career
Manny Pacquiao
Muhammed Ali
George Foreman
Lennox Lewis
Wladimir Klitschko ;)....hopefully Andy Lee and Miguel Cotto, albeit Miguel has a much better chance at being great since he was halfway there when he got beat
Morrison probably got one of the worse beatings and came back an made a little noise.
Jorge Arce after losing to Michael Crabajal
Check Box rec . Casa clearly wonQuote:

Balboa did ok after that beating from Laing.
seriously though George Foreman had a strong comeback after such a long time out and a couple of losses!
It's early to tell, but maybe Paul Williams.
Matthew Saad Muhammad, Dick Tiger,
Both fighters had a really tough start in the career losing multiple fights then went on to win Light Heavyweight World title and made multiple defenses and Dick Tiger won the Middleweight World title aswell.
Alexis Arguello, Henry Armstrong, and Bernard Hopkins all lost their pro debuts.
I think the Marquez brothers did too.
Joe Louis improved on his tendency to be lazy with his jab after the Max Schmeling loss.
As far as I'm concerned, Lennox Lewis losing to Oliver McCall was a blessing in disguise. It was Manny Steward in the other corner who picked up on Lewis's poor balance and being so open when he threw the right hand. Oliver caught Lewis with that same right hand in round 1, it just wasn't as clean. Lewis fought a lot of good punchers, and I think sooner or later, he would've been caught when he made those mistakes.
Lewis's balance and overall technique became better with Steward.
James J Braddock was going nowhere fast, lots of losses and then turned it around to become heavyweight champ.
Louis' return after the devastating loss to Schemeling was pretty good .... Ali didn't do too bad after being given a hiding by Smokin' Joe Frazier.
Sugar Ray went something like 40 undefeated till he lost to La Motta - then he went something like another 90 fights undefeated till he lost to Turpin (I stand to be corrected on the actual numbers, but hopefully you agree with my point)
