Re: Fighters who were on their way to winning despite being behind on points
A few that come to mind for me:
1. Foreman vs Michael Moorer
2. Wladimir vs Lamont Brewster 1
3. James Toney vs Michael Nunn
4. Cotto vs Margarito
5. Kennedy McKinney vs Barrera
6. Pavilik/Froch vs Jermain Taylor
Chavez vs Taylor was a great example and the one I immediately thought of.

Top notch there. Foreman was doing damage and clipped him with 1-2s prior. Literally tuned him for the finish and Teddy knew it was coming.Originally Posted by mikeeod

SRL vs Hearns I(kills me to say)
Hearns was winning the fight while just trying to see the final bell.

Moorer was boxing the ears off Big George. I did not see that coming until the start of that round.

Jack v Degale?
I thought Degale deserved his lead but was getting a beating
in the end a draw was probably right but I think Degale would have been happier

Re: Fighters who were on their way to winning despite being behind on points
I think that over the last 15-20 years we have seen more boxer-puncher and boxers. Less brawler types whose purpose was to wear you out. Partially due to the changes that came after 15 rounders were eliminated, partially due to seeing the success of boxer and boxer-punchers. I think the OPs question would have 100 answers quickly 20 years ago. But it is harder today. I assume Mickey Ward has some fights he was losing rounds but breaking the opponent down. But I can't recall them.

Mickey Ward had plenty such as Alfonso Sanchez

Re: Fighters who were on their way to winning despite being behind on points
Big George called it weeks before the fight. Lampley talks about it. George said Mike would stand in front of him late and pay the man. Exactly what happened. He was touching Moorer throughout the fight, although he was being thoroughly outboxed. I won big money on that fight. That one, Hop vs Tito, and Evander vs Tyson. Biggest wins I've had. I'm due for another now that I think about it...!!!Teddy was just being Teddy.Top notch there. Foreman was doing damage and clipped him with 1-2s prior.

Teddy said the same thing in the 1st round and going into the 10th.."He's setting you up for a sneak shot, you're in his distance and he'll set you up..change the distance and move to the side". For a southpaw poor Moorer moved strictly into Foremans right until the 7th round. He was being touched and stood still with it and Foremans jab the entire time Double M was boxing.Big George called it weeks before the fight. Lampley talks about it.

Hopkins v Tito was great. It was jaw dropping how hard Hopkins was slept on and dismissed going into that one.
