What are everyone's favorite fights where the fighter was well behind and/or needed a KO to win, and got it?
Here's a few I like...
Toney's first title, the 11th round KO of undefeated, prime champion Michael Nunn.
Whitaker v. Hurtado. Gotta love Whitaker, and this was the final win of his career and a brutal KO. Great fight. (And poor ref'ing by Mercante Jr. Stopped it a couple punches too late).
Ward v. Sanchez. The classic 'where did that come from?' Ward losing every minute of every round and stopped Sanchez with one brutal body shot. (Ward was losing so bad, Merchant is complaining over and over that they should stop the fight).
And the grandaddys of them all.... Foreman's KO of Moorer, and Ali's KO of Foreman. Nuff Said.
