Boxers who lost and came back stronger

[Scrap]

Joe Loius, Ezzard Charles, spring to mind

Bernard Hopkins lost his first Pro fight at LHW then came back at middleweight and didn't lose until he fought for the middleweight crown against Roy Jones in 1993. He then went onto dominate the division for over 12 years.

I know he needs to retire now but I feel proud to have witnessed one of the greatest boxing careers of all time and I really fear for him against Pavlik but he won't listen to good advice from the likes of Freddie Roach.

Joe Loius, Ezzard Charles, spring to mind

After Marciano's first lo-- ahem win against Roland Lastarza he really improved by a lot.

Archie Moore also comes to mind.

Kostya Tszyu came back stronger after losing to
Phillips. He went on a 8 year 13 fight including 11 defenses run before losing to Hatton and retiring.

Margarito....

Terry Norris

Azumah Nelson

Haven't read the whole thread, so I'm not sure if he's been mentioned, but I'd say Tony has come back pretty strong since his loss to Williams.

[Beanflicker]

How about Manny Pacquaio. As far as I know he has two KOs from earlier in his career against opponents even the biggest boxing experts probably haven't heard of, and look where he is 8 or 9 years later.

Leonard after losing to Duran.

[Spicoli]

almost cliche at this point But....Glen Johnson

Charles Williams

[Mikkel_K]

Considering all the recent threads on him, I'm surprised noone has mentioned David Haye. Enzo could arguably be brougt up as well. And so could Wlad for that matter.

Someone mentioned both Marquez-brothers - Israel Vazquez could be on the list as well.

Mike McCallum after defeat to Kalambay but definitely Joe Louis as he was never ever a sucker to the right hand again.
