    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.

    Rocky Lockridge was smoked by Juan La Porte in 2 heavy handed rounds then returns to win titles and lose close decisions to Eusebio Pedroza, Wifredo Gomez and JCC, all of those great champions had trouble with him.

    Nigel Benn turned it around after the Watson defeat and went to USA. He then turned it around after losing to Eubanks by winning WBC title.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
