Kings of Comeback

[The Old LefHook]

The thing about these guys is they can take an atrocious mangling, then come back to win. These are the warriors fans love most. If someone was fighting for your life, you would want it to be one of these cats.


1 Matt Franklin
2 Rocky Marciano
3 Vampire Johnson
4 Yaqui Lopez

[Thunderstruck]

Great list.I didn’t think anybody remembered Vampire Johnson.I heard about him and researched him but no fans I ever talked to remembered him.

[millcitymauler]

Arturo Gatti for sure

Arturo Gatti for sure

Right, Gatti has a high place. I could not think of or name them all.

[Rusty Tromboni]

This list was made for Jake LaMotta.
Or maybe Jake LaMotta was made for this list.

Whatever, he takes top slot.

Dempsey and Sal Sanchez are obvious contenders.

Dempsey I get, he had to come from behind to beat Brennan, climb back into the ring to fell Firpo, and had an almost with Tunney. Had Tunney not beaten the count that would have been a come back for the ages.

Tell me about Sanchez. I don't know jack ***** about Sanchez except the two Lopez fights and those two he dominated.

Diego Corrales

Diego Corrales

Diego Corrales looks like a career set I should check out.

Only other ones I can think of for this list would be:

Arturo Gatti and at times:

Kevin Kelley (man did his eyes get swollen something awful)

Have you seen the first Corrales-Castillo fight? Most epic comeback I have ever seen, and easily one of the greatest fights.

Kevin Kelly is a great mention as well. The "Flushing flash" doesn't get a lot of mention but was great to watch.

Probably because he lost most of his big fights and only held a piece of the featherweight title for the WBC, only defending it twice.
