[cotto16]

It could be a devasting defeat, it could be a couple of losess, or a devasting injury who you got? nate campbel come to mind comeing back from the peden knockout, cos he let the guy ****ing hit him

[Shaun Oliver]

Darchinyan came back strong after getting KTFO by Donaire.

[MANGLER]

Tyson wasn't quite the same post prison, but he took back a couple of his old belts.

[Thread Stealer]

Floyd Patterson.





As much as everyone hates John Ruiz, I gotta give him credit for rebounding from the Tua massacre.

john ruiz did very well comeing bk to become champion after that devasting knockout

[The Hammer]

Wladimir Klitschko.

After he was stopped in the first Brewster fight, having then been stopped in two of his past four fights, everybody thought he was done. Even his friends advised him to retire.

But since 2004, he's won 10 straight and unified two world titles!

doooo-ran! doooo-ran! after hearns dismantled him...

[Miburo]

Barrera is the most prominent example of the contemporary era. Not only that, the way he did it (adapting his style so drastically) is virtually unique.

[Stickman]

Floyd Patterson.

Ruiz never recovered from that loss to Tua. Tuaman ruined him for anything resembling a decent heavyweight. He was a pretty good boxer/puncher before. Afterwards, I never saw him do much other than the slug'n'hug technique that "endeared" him so in the eye of the boxing fans.
