    I would say past or present all I could think are:

    Felix Trinidad
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    JuamMa Lopez
    Yuriorkis Gamboa
    David Haye
    Marcos Maidana
    Joe Calzaghe

      I'm speaking in general terms. There are going to be exceptions. However, I still don't think many boxers benefit from being hurt.

          none of them actually got better, it just appears that way because they were able to adjust to what got them in trouble and eventually take over because of their superior experience.

          the rare occurance occasionally happens when a guy gets dropped early and isnt hurt, but it just wakes them up a little.

          oh, and getting dropped can make the other guy go ape**** trying to finish it, hurting themselves and in the long run(and leaving themselves open to get it) helping the dropped fighter. but the hurt fighter himself doesnt get better.
          ex Mike Jones vs Karass

                Felix Trinidad was the law when it came to getting up and koing his opponent hard.

                Campas
                Stephens
                Cortes
                Carr
                Vargas
                Whitaker


                Gamboa is the new Tito.

                  Mayorga

                  and probably more than that, I know hes been knocked down 7 times prior to the Waters fight.

                  damn Trinidad got up to win a lot, lol.
                  I dont remember him being dropped against Whitaker however. just hurt(briefly)

                    I might have confused Tito getting dropped with Whitaker getting dropped, Ill have to watch the fight again.

                      We're talking about only fighters that get better only after getting dropped, or are we talking in general getting hurt?

                      In recent fights, Hopkins vs Pascal. Hopkins turned it up after getting dropped.

                      Getting hurt: Mayweather shut out Mosley after Mosley's one hit wonder.

                      Maidana: Got better after getting dropped by Ortiz and Khan.
