IMO Castro's Mano de Dios was still a better comeback as is Chavez' first win over Taylor, but yea it's gotta be pretty high up there

Re: Castillo vs. Corrales I - the Greatest Boxing Comeback Ever?
It's crazy to think I was there ringside for this great event...
Indeed it is one of the greatest comebacks. Is it the greatest?
I think that's up to interpretation.
"Locomotora" Castro vs. "Action" Jackson def deserves a mention.
Forward to the 6:30 mark... For those who are interested. Castro was getting beat in every sense of the word.

Carl Thompson had a few that were equally as dramatic but not at the highest level.
Gatti also some good ones.

I don't recall seeing this fight before Mick, good one. Castro looked like he was hurt and/or getting ready to be KTFO by Jackson after all the abuse he'd taken and then bam! one punch basically ends the fight.

Do you think Corrales cheated by spitting out his gum shield to buy more time?

I wouldn't consider it cheating, just being smart. He needed those extra few seconds to recover. I think that's what added to the epicness of it all.

Re: Castillo vs. Corrales I - the Greatest Boxing Comeback Ever?
Definitely, spitting out your mouthpiece to buy time is cheating, it's also a sign of resignation in boxing. Weeks took away a point, but he could have DQ'd Chico. That does take away a bit of the luster from Corrales comeback, but he bought himself time to recover, pretty cagy if you ask me, sometimes when your ass is on the line you have to improvise.

It was 1994's Fight of the Year. Jorge Castro vs. John D. Jackson 1.
You gotta see it. It's all in YouTube.

Yeah Castro sparking Jackson has always been my favourite come from behind win.
Carl Thompson sparking Sebastian Rothmann is up there as well for me. Rothmann was so in control he started taking the piss.
