Guess you could say the same about Eubank-Watson 2 and Benn-McClellan. How about Jorge Castro v John David Jackson ? Granted Castro didn't get decked, but he was taking the kind of beating that no fighter should.

Eubank Watson is a great shout. Especially given that Eubank literally came off the canvas and effectively won the fight with the first punch he threw. An incredible shot it was too.

Shows you how important context and narrative are in boxing. It also shows you that the boxing world, deep down, has some shame about the fact this sport is fundamentally about hitting people in the head.

It should be the stand out example but we don't like to talk about it.

Watched Holmes-Shavers with my dad. When Holmes hit the canvas, my pops jumped up shouting "the fight's over!" But it wasn't...

Matthew Saad Muhammad had too many to list, a true comeback kid.
