Fighters who turn it around

[CutMeMick]

Cotto was quickly written off after the Tony fight. He's damaged, he'll never win another title, he'll become a stepping stone. Same thing after the Pac fight and my boy keeps fighting on.
Darchinyan lost and cameback in fashion.
Ortiz not only after losing to Maidana but after the piss poor job vs. Peterson.
SSM on 2 occasions, after losing to Forrest (rip) gets the win over ODLH and then loses to Cotto looks horrible vs. Mayorga but puts on a great performance vs. Tony
How many times has "The road warrior" turned it around?

Niiice post!

How about Dick Tiger who began 14-7 and went on to become two time undisputed 160 champ and undisputed 175 champ?

Freddie Pendleton was 17-15-2 when he got a draw with Livingstone Bramble and then went on a run and eventually gave Sweet Pea a tussle and won a strap at 135.

How about Glenn Johnson? He lost five in a row at one point and like seven out of ten and just kept battling.

Ezzard Charles got KO'd savagely back to back by Bivins and marshall IIRC as a young fighter. He took 18 months off and came back to become, well Ezzard Charles!

Jorge Arce last performance was out of this world.

Shane Mosley also tends to turn it around and i wouldn't be surprised he goes out and beats Ortiz and gets back into the big picture again because he is fearless.

[THE THIRD MAN]

I have to say that Vic has turned it around remarkably considering what a shocking KO he suffered at the hands of Donaire. He has some impressive wins since and has lost close decisions to both Agbeko and Mares two very good Bantams, he then pummels Perez for 5 rounds and is back in the mix again.
Tszyu was almost cast off after he lost to Phillips, he returns to the ring stronger than ever and destroys Gonzalez and unifies the 140lb title for the first time in 30 years.
Jorge Arce has surprised us all as recently as this month, he was brutally beaten by Vic and yet this little warrior keeps on coming back for more and dishes out his own beating...amazing!

Name of Micky Ward always pops in mind. Not a fan but ol' Vinny Pazienza coming back from near career ending injury and training in a steel halo was nice...John Michael Johnson after some early losses then again later with solid wins...Like the story of Steve Little -RIP-coming back from early losses. Just raw guile and nil power but pulls solid upset for title over still viable Michael Nunn.

I hate Johnny Nelson's fighting style, but yea he certainly did turn it around. He lost 10 of his 13 Amateur fights, lost his first 3 fights. Aswell as losing 7 out of 11 fights.

But then went undefeated for almost 10 years, and made 13 title defense's. Quite a story whether he was boring or not.
