Best Come-From-Behind Victory

[BKM-]

I would imagine that Mike Tyson in prison was the best ever at come-from-behind victories.

Julian Jackson vs Herol Graham, anyone?

[Sugarj]

Jorge Castro vs John David Jackson, hands down.

Also, Iran Barkley knocking out Thomas Hearns in their first fight after being butchered for the first two rounds and a half.

And, of course, Micky Ward vs Alfonso Sanchez.

Your Arturo Gatti fight of choice (...perhaps vs Wilson Rodriguez?)

Finally, let me jump on the Foreman vs Moorer bandwagon...

...but one could argue that the greatest come-from-behind win of all time is Ali vs Foreman

Funnily enough, I'm pretty sure that Ali was ahead on all judges cards at the point of the stoppage over Foreman. I've got a feeling that none of the judges had Foreman ahead at any point in the fight too.

Scrub Weaver KOing scrub Tate with one punch after being tapped on for 15 solid rounds.

Absolutely. That says a lot about corruption. Like it or not, Foreman did all the dirty work until the very end, when he became a spent force.

However, my point was more idealistic... Ali was considered as good as dead at that time - especially against Foreman - but he produced a shocker. That's why I referred to that as the ultimate come-from-behind win.

I'm with you. Foreman had to knock out Ali to get a draw that night

Ali was ahead on the scorecards because he was outboxing Foreman and making him look like a fool who had never put on a pair of boxing gloves in his entire life, or a strongman who could only push Ali on the ropes. Not because there was a conspiracy against Foreman going on.

After 2 days no one has mentioned Corrales-Castillo??

Another wild come-from-behind win was Arnold Taylor flattening Romeo Anaya with a single punch... after he himself had been down 4 times.

Shannon Briggs' last-second (literally) win over Liakhovich also comes to mind.

4 days and no one has mentioned Archie Moore - Yvonne Durelle.

You're right - a classic!
