    "Don’t count them out just yet" ...

    … or "great comebacks".

    1976: an unknown Panamanian being demolished in two rounds. We won’t see much of that guy in the future … or? …

    Eusebio Pedroza turned out to be one of the most dominant featherweights ever.

    DON'T COUNT THEM OUT JUST YET

    Simon Brown-Terry Noris 1

    Nigel Benn-Gerald McCellan*

    Dempsey-Sharkey

    Schmeling-Louis I

    Braddock-Baer

    * I am aware of the tradegy that unfolded, but the back story for the fight was that Benn was finished and would surcome in one or two rounds.

        - - Wlad several x.

        Folks still say he had a glass jaw to this day, but he was never counted out or single punched into oblivion like Lewis was.

        Vitali- Larry Merchant wouldn't give two cents for his fighter contract after his trainer withdrew him from Byrd. Years later he makes Lewie quit the ring for good as Vitali established one of the great era dominations of hvywt.

          I’ve found a lot of opportunities to talk about this one recently, Archie Moore vs Yvon Durelle 1. Just a jaw-dropping, hard fought and genius comeback.
          There’s also George Foreman vs Michael Moorer. That one was a history-making upset!

            David Price. People thought he was done, then he went and beat Dave Allen. Nash out.
