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

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 ForemanLast edited by Sugarj; 12-02-2019, 04:27 PM.

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.

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.Last edited by NChristo-; 12-04-2019, 11:16 AM.
