Duran, and now Pacquiao's is def up there. I mean dude got KO twice early in career, and went on a legendary run. Then got KTFO by Marquez who got schooled by Bradley, who got outclassed by Manny and giving back him the WBO Welterweight belt. pretty impressive comebaclc
The reason why I say Lewis is because he got revenge on those fighters who gave him the Loss.
However Lewis got a gift VS Ray Mercer. Ray Mercer deserved the Decision.
I was browsing a thread about the Danny Garcia Lucas Matthysse fight. As Ive never watched a boxing match personally, from what I gathered Garcia beat the sh1t out of Matthysse. So bad in fact, he barely made it out alive against his next opponent, some tomato can from a lower weight by the name of Molina. I guess Danny went on to fight some giant named Herrera whom he utterly destroyed. They he fought a world beater from 2 weight classes above him called Raul Seltzer. So I guess Matthysse did alright after the thrashing Garcia gave him.
Terry Norris who was torched by Julian Jackson came back to knock out John the beast Mugabi to start a long title reign at 154 and become a top 10 PFP.
Evander Holyfield unified 2 of the 3 heavyweight titles after being ko'd by Bowe and then went on to have his fights with Lewis etc. The first tyson win is arguably the biggest win of his career because of the hype tyson had after getting out of jail then destroying Seldon and Bruno. Tyson was back and Holyfield was finished.
Robinson with 300+ fights, never stopped by an opponent!
He retired in his corner with hypothermia (14th rd) against the light heavy champ Joey Maxim while winning the bout on all score cards.
People in attendance were being treating by paramedics and two refs were used as the ringside temp hit over 105d.
Louis return against Max after Max took him to task was a huge comeback win especially when you consider the condition the world was in facing Hitler's rampage on European countries. Joe whipped Max with a brutal first round KO just as the USA came to Europe's rescue and whipped Hitler's forces! :unitedsta Joe Louis the best ever, USA the best ever!!! :boxing:
Ray
Sugar Ray Robinson from Jake Lamotta gets an honorable mention.
:ugh: when did Ray Robinson get KO by Lamotta?
There are plenty of guys who came back from being knocked out.
Lennox Lewis is one of the guys who comes to mind, he got knocked out and than knocks the guy out int he rematch.
Sugar Ray Robinson from Jake Lamotta gets an honorable mention.Lamottoa never ko'd Robinson....matter of fact the only time Robinson was stopped was by the heat in his attempt at the light heavyweight title
