I'd have to say Carrales beating Castillo.
And another might be Julio Cesar Chavez beating Meldrick taylor in the final seconds of round 12. Very controversial call, but i have to reason with the best referee of all time, richard steele. He had no idea that there was only 3 seconds. He assumed that there was about 20 seconds. With that 20 seconds left, there is no way taylor gets out of that fight. So he it was right to call the fight, having richard Steeles state of mind, but definetly a bad call if had known.
So i was wondering. What do u think the best comeback fight of all time was, and if u could post of vid up here if u have it. Im in the mood for a huge comeback.
PS: At the end of Chavez vs Taylor, they all wanted a rematch. Did this ever happen? Cause if it did, i would love to know who won, and if anyon has a video of the fight that they could post here.
Tyson vs McNeely. After a 4 year lay off, he gets rid of him in 1 round. Ofcource, McNeely is a joke, but Tyson looked impressive and it was an entertaining fight!
that i have seen .. chavez-taylor, corales-castillo and jmm-PAC ...
honorable mention, vargas-trinidad,he got up 2 times, later KD trinidad and THEN AFTER went to war, too BAD he GOT koed in the end ...
Hands down with Political relivance, racial significance and two damned good fighters it would have to be Louis/Schmeling II. When the fight went down Hitler was beginning his march, blacks were still fighting to be viewed as equal by a ingnorant yet still racist america. And Joe made america proud. Black and white aswell as shoving some shit in Hitlers face.
Rockin' :boxing:
we are talking bout in the same fight although I can understand your angle but please do not belittle schmeling he was a very good fighter and a nazi pawn and not by his wants choice or anything else. also read ferni pacheco's the fight doctors take on that fight had some interesting points of view its worth a look. in short max had more to loose than just the fight maybe the lives of his family and himself if he lost and he might have cracked under the presure. check it out its a good book worth a read intersting perspecives.
Very controversial call, but i have to reason with the best referee of all time, richard steele. He had no idea that there was only 3 seconds. He assumed that there was about 20 seconds.
thats where alot of the blame lies. He was facing directly into the corner where the red light was flashing signaling there was less than 10 seconds left in the round. he failed to see it, a huge oversight.
thumbs down to richard steele
Archie Moore vs Yvon Durelle
Dempsey vs Luis Firpo

Yeah, you are right. Moore came back from 4 knockdowns to stop the younger stronger Durrelle. Very good example. Dempsey-Firpo is legendary, and maybe one of the greatest fights of all time. Dempsey went through the ropes before he came back to KO Firpo.
JMM against Paq..
JMM showed alot of heart in that fight, I was sure it was over after Pac knocked down JMM for the third time. JMM's comeback in that fight , is my personal favorite.
Diego Corrales' 10th round come from behind TKO of Jose Luis Castillo has to get my vote, because he was down twice in that round and then managed to TKO Castillo IN THE EXACT SAME ROUND. Truly incredible stamina and will on the part of Corrales.
Corrales battling back against JLC...
Any Matthew Saad Muhammad fight...
Mo Harris' (almost) comeback against Derrick Jefferson was quite valiant until Jefferson landed that disgusting left hook that looked like it killed him.
Michael Carbajals comeback to beat Chiquita Gonzales was quite amazing in their first bout. That was a wicked shot he landed to end Humbertos night.
Acelino Freitas' comeback over Barrios was pretty nice.
Not sure, tought call. Diego Corrales vs Jose Castillo definetly comes to mind, but then again Corrales always gets up when he gets knocked down except for the second fight, so he is always dangerous when he is up.
The funniest comeback of all time was when Maskaev getting beat down round after round knocks Rahman out of the ring.
I'd have to say Carrales beating Castillo.

Yea they fought again later and Taylor was beat up pretty bad. He got a lot taken out of him the first fight,
