    Good thread and topic.

    Leonard-Hearns I: Leonard was getting pot-shotted all fight long.... even getting his eye swollen shut.... before coming on strong and TKO'ing Hearns in a classic ebb and flow fight.

    I'd also add Ali-Frazier III.

    In the middle rounds Frazier was hurting Ali with hooks to the head and tremendous body work. Ali had to dig deep (very deep) to turn the fight around and force Frazier's corner to stop the fight. Another classic fight.

    Prod v Bradley I think Bradley lost the fight but the way he came back from that beating to hold on and box in the middle rounds was extremely impressive.

    Alvarado v Rios 2 Mile High Mike took a straight right early on that rubberized him but he recovered and boxed beautifully the rest of the fight, one of my favorite fighters

    Brock v GGG, GGG dominated the first half of the fight but collapsed in the eighth.

    Got to have dislocated danny williams in here, not exactly a top level fight but he dislocated his shoulder and ended up winning by ko!

    his shoulder blade does poke out quite a lot :S........... and danny was also out of it v tyson and came back to stop him, errrr although that might have had something to do with tyson tearing some knee ligaments(do you need those really ? :S)

    i felt that Larry Holmes dug rather deep in severeal of his fights, he always showed his toughness when he was behind, with his amazing chin, and amazing stamina, and will to win. He looked down and out against Shavers and against Snipes.

    But if 1 comes to mind it is:

    Good call, Benn dug deeper than probably anyone in boxing history to come back from that.
    Benn showed the heart of a lion and I actually wanted Gerald to win at the time.

    The way Benn got battered around that ring he could have easily ended up the same way..

    Leonard vs Hearns i mean that fight cost Leonard good amount of his prime. He was taking fucking shots from Hearns like nothing eye falling out and then goes for it and knocks him the fuck out best fight.

    You are right that fight shortened Leonards career and as much as I dislike him when he made his comeback after Hagler he gets my respect because at welterweight he was one of the greatest up there with Ray Robinson. Unbeatable.

    Thank you I had not seen it in a long time. Williams had a beautiful jab and came back well from that brutal knock downs in round 2 and 3. Also forgot it was the under card fight for Hearns v Roldan.
