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.
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.
There were a couple of times I thought Julian Letterlough RIP had actually killed Julio C. Gonzalez
Thompson recovering from David Prices straight right to beat him in fight II.
In terms of history changing recoveries, how about Buster Douglas getting up and then continuing to ring Mike Tyson like a bell?
Holmes getting up from the bomb Shavers landed on him.
Calzaghe getting floored by Byron Mitchell and getting up to stop him in same round
I'll 2nd this. I assumed it would be mentioned straight off and end the thread.Quote:

Ron Lyle
Recovering from Earnie Shavers left-hook.
'Inhuman'
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
Kendall Holt getting up from Ricardo Torres in their second fight for Torres's WBO Jr. Welter title...

Archie Moore getting up 4 times against Yvon Durelle and then putting Durelle down 4 times and getting a KO the 11th.
Not a battle, a war and very exciting to a 16 year old. That was in 1958, Archie Moore fought 10 times that year. The old days!
Archie would have lost that fight by today's standards.Quote:

Hagler taking the right hand Hearns. HTF did he take that!
Eubanks taking the uppercut from Nigel Benn that ripped his tongue.
Holyfield taking that uppercut from Bowe.
Gatti taking the punishment from Ward.
Murray taking that body shot from GGG and fighting on until round 11. Tough SOB’s
LEWIS giving VITALI that UPPERCUT!!!
Vitali is the Liam neeson in the boxing world..(Oliver McCall is the Danny glover)
Kirkland getting through the first round against Angulo was impressive.
Anyone getting hit by Ernie shavers, hardest lb4lb puncher in history
'Smokin' Joe Frazier
Getting up from the 2nd Knockdown in Round 1 versus George Foreman.
That right-uppercut nearly removed Joe's head from his neck.
