Nigel Benn versus Gerrald McClellan would be one that springs to mind.
Froch Vs Taylor was a decent come back. froch down just once I think?
Castillo vs Diego Corrales I. It takes two to tango but Corrales was a little better this time! These two put on a performance that will be remembered for a long, long time.
Eubank against Watson.Quote:

Thompson v Haye was a hell of a comeback because Carl was getting battered. In fact a lot of Carl's fight are in this category.
JMM coming back from 3 knockdowns in the 1st Pac fight to get a draw.
Jorge Fernando Castro vs. John David Jackson is just awesome to behold as he was totally outclassed and getting battered, looked like he had nothing left then BAM !
Joe Louis vs Billy Conn
Rocky Marciano vs Jersey Joe Walcott I
Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor I
That's the best come back that I had in mind too.Quote:

Carrasquilla vs. Hong - Carrasquilla dictates the pace in round 1. Then in round 2 he drops Hong 4 times. Round 3 comes around and Hong drops and stops Carrasquilla in his own back yard.
"Nañara" Martinez vs. Fuentes - "Nañara" hits the deck 3 times in 4 rounds only to comeback and spark Fuentes out in the 5th and claim the WBO title.
"Popo" Freitas vs. "Heina" Barrios - IMO one of the most underrated fights. What a sensational ending.
"Sellers vs. "Cat" Thompson - 6 knockdowns in 4 rounds. Sellers goes down twice and Thompson four in this back and forth fight.
Duarte vs. Torres - A fucken bloody mess with Duarte bleeding from both eyes and having been floored early on comes back to floor Torres twice to win it in the 9th rd.

Corrales V Castillo is the greatest comeback during a round i have ever seen.
Hands down the best comeback ever...Quote:

Might as well have been 10 points. If Froch hadn't have stopped Taylor he would have lost so it was a pretty good comeback to grab victory with 14 seconds left in the fight. He was 106-102 down on 2 cards at least. Turning an imminent points loss in to a stoppage victory i'm certain can be called a good comeback.Quote:

How did I miss the Julian Jackson one! That was gutting.
Don't know about ever but a few personal favs regardless of length
Saad Muhammad and Marvin Johnson 2. Johnson gave him literal hell early..cuts, gashes and wobbles but Saad (Franklin) swarmed back to hurt then floor Johnson. Absolute savage battle, then again its Saad...per norm.
Quincy Taylor ko 12 Otis Grant. Lesser known one but undefeated Grant was boxing smart and ahead with ease I thought and then...boom! Taylor catches him with about 20 seconds left in 12th...one punch, down and out! No need to count.
Michael Carbajal v Jorge Arce. Carbajal fighting on memory, balls and a big right hand alone. Late on catches Arce late and gets stoppage. The mans a fuckin legend! Put Gonzalez first fight in there for that matter...he was getting hammered until that left hook.
Kennedy Mckinney v Welcome Ncita 1. Not sure what scores were but as a man McKinney came back from the brink in 11th, almost quit on himself, battered and down and when he got up he put one of the most brutal kos on Ncita you'll ever see. Find it...watch it!
Mercer v Damiani. Different kind on 'comeback' as Mercer was taking zero 'beating' but man he was being clowned badly by Damiani. One uppercut from him later in 9th and Damiani was on his knees pouring blood from his nose and badly broken. Game, set, match!
Wilfredo Vazquez tko11 Eloy Rojas. Challenger Vazquez was behind on all cards by as much as 4,8 points into 11th and then just detonated on Rojas who was making his 7th defense with a sudden barrage. Really harsh knockout, great sudden turn around win.
Kevin Kelly ko 9 Recardo rivera. Kelly looks terrible in comeback bout after first loss and gets beat up and ropped by unknown and suddenly snags victory with big bomb out of the dark.
Louis v Conn 1...Gatti v Rodriquez...Toney v Nunn...Benn v Logan, short but sweeeet!
While they weren't single fights but "comebacks to the sport"
'Big' George Foreman - Came back after a long hiatus from the sport to become the oldest heavyweight Champion ever
'Dr. Ironfist' Vitali Klitschko - Came back after years away from the sport due to injury & dominated every single opponent he fought
'Will 'o the Wisp' Willie Pep - Came back after surviving a plane crash to continue to dominate

On a similar note, Vinny Paziensa coming back from a broken neck and becoming world champion.Quote:

Some great mentions in this thread. Other notables would be
Moore/Durelle 1
Charles/Marciano 2
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...k_01/cut-1.jpgDam
Hamed/Kelly
Tate/Weaver
Lamotta/ Dauthuille
Matthew Saad Muhammad -v- Yaqui Lopez 2.
Saad went through the mill in this fight & looked a goner at one point, but he rallied back to win in impressive style.
George Foreman vs Michael Moorer should be mentioned too.
I did not realise that Rocky as losing the second fight against Ezzard Charles, I know he had the horrible cut on his nose. I know Rocky was behind against Walcott.Quote:

Recently, Alvarado's come-back against Breidis Prescott on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao versus Juan Manuel Marquez III fight should be mentioned. Alvarado was down on all three scorecards going into the final round by quite a few rounds and knocked Prescott out in that round.
