    Default Best Fighters In Rematches.

    What fighters have fought rematches, and totally adjusted. Or destroyed the other fighter.

    For example Orlando Canizales, he had 2 close fights vs Billy Hardy, Sergio Reyes, but beat them both handily in rematches.

    He also lost to Paul Gonzales, but destroyed him in there 2nd meeting. And against Kelvin Seabrooks, he beat him even more convincingly and in quicker fashion in there 2nd fight.

    Another one that comes to mind is Marvin Hagler, he had countless rematches. Against fighters who troubled him early in his career, but destroyed them in rematches later in his career.

    Muhammad Ali also done good in rematches vs Spinks, Norton 2, Frazier 2.

    Can anyone think of anymore ?

    Lennox Lewis seemed to adjust pretty well in his rematches with McCall and Rahman. The only two men to beat him.

    Holyfield rematch...not so much.

    Joe Louis was also pretty good in rematches. Billy Conn, Max Schmeling, Jersey Joe Walcott, Lee Ramage, Arturo Godoy, Buddy Baer, ETC.

    I agree with you regarding Pernell Whitaker who is one of my favorites by the way, he destroyed Jose Luis Ramirez even worse in there 2nd fight, even though he deserved the win in the 1st fight by far.

    He was far more offensive and left no doubt, he embarrassed Buddy McGirt when his shoulder was 100 percent, and after a close win vs Wilfredo Rivera, he beat Wilfredo Rivera much more convincing in there 2nd fight.

    Both men were down, but i thought Pernell Whitaker's knockdown was a slip. Where as Wilfredo Rivera going down was much more legit, and showed the underrated power of Pernell Whitaker.

    Bro i think you misunderstood just a tad, i want fighters that overall were good in rematches. Not just one example of where a fighter dominated the other fighter in a rematch.

    For example you listed Erik Morales, and even though he did indeed KO Guty Espadas in good fashion in there rematch. He lost to both Pacquiao, Barrera, in rematches which is why i wouldn't list him.

    Evander Holyfield was too hot/cold in rematches, he did indeed win 3 rematches, but he also lost 2 rematches. But i suppose you could list him, but thats what im looking for really.

    IMO Holyfield should have gotten the win in the rematch against Lewis and i had him winning the 3rd fight against Ruiz, only rematches i thought he lost was the 2nd fight with Ruiz and against Bowe

    but yea i pretty much just started putting down individual cases lol

    I'd say definitely Robinson and Lewis were the best.

    Chad Dawson aside, which came at the end of his career, Antonio Tarver was pretty good too.
