    Getting off the Canvas

    If you had to pick one fighter, only one fighter ever to get off the canvas and comeback to knock out a given opponent, who would it be? If you had to bet your life savings on a guy who was in serious trouble, behind on the scorecards, and had been KD'ed to storm back and KO his opponent who would it be?

    When you look at how many knockouts he has had in his career, and how many times he has been knocked down before coming back to deliver a knockout, it would have to be Trinidad.

          I agree. Saad was the king of the comeback. I'm surprised no one had said Gatti. I wouldn't put my money on him but he's definitely done this on more than one occasion.

                  George Foreman. Watch the Ron Lyle fight and you'll see what I mean. Plus did anyone ever have more of a punchers chance than Big George?

                    Trinidad. How can u say DLH? he had only been knocked down 2wice b4 Hopkins and the one against Whitaker was more of a slip.
