Best rise from canvas win.

[rapidrio]

Hey guys, what fighter do you think rose from the most savage knockdown to win a fight? I don't mean some flash knockdown like most of Trinidad's, but a knockdown that would have put most fighters to sleep?

My picks: Larry Holmes vs Earnie Shavers - man that right was brutal. Holmes got up, amazingly, and went on to win a decision.

Julio Diaz vs Julian Letterlough - Diaz was clocked with such a huge left hook, his head slammed against the canvas. How he was able to get up I don't know, let alone win the decision.

Fire away boxing experts.

Tony Lopez vs rocky Lockridge I...thats why it was fight of the year! It wasnt the best...but it was SWEEEEET!

I witnessed one of the greatest fights ever, back in November 1973.

Arnold Taylor fought Romeo Anaya for the bantamweight title. Taylor was being smashed down repeatedly, yet rose each time, to eventually go on to knock Anaya out in the 14th round. That fight was the epitome of everything that a boxing fan craves in the sport.

Again, it demonstrates too, the ability of a great ref who is capable of assessing damage to any fighter. Yet, Taylor looked very much the loser after the fight, so badly battered & swollen was he.

It got the 'Ring' magazine's fight of the year award.

Although these guys didn't get off the canvas, they were great "comebacks" regardless.

Chavez/Taylor - Chavez clearly being outboxed and on his way to his first loss KO's Mel Taylor in extremely controversial fashion in the closing seconds of the 12th round.

Peden/Campbell - Campbell was starting to impose his will on Peden and hit him with a devastating bodyshot. Dumbass Campbell doesn't put it together when Peden folds over in pain, and instead of attacking Peden...he drops his hands to showboat and gets KTFO. Great stuff.

how about carbajal-gonzales member that one.

Yes I do. Carbajal was very good and provided a lot of good memories.

Now there`s a Trilogy not enough of us talk about. Great fights

Yeah, these little guys really brought recognition to the lighter weights. It's too bad they never fought Ricardo Lopez.

ya

Not the best one but one i just rememberd

Jack Dempsey-Luis Angel Firpo

Firpo knocked Dempsey out of the ring, he comes back and knocks him out in the same round

oo ya and De La Hoya-Valenzuela

DLH gets knocked down in round 1 but comes back n knocks him out

[The Golden Boy]

Carbajal - Gonzalez. Flash in the 2nd but Carbajal was really hurt in the 5th. On top of that until he was knocked out Gonzalez looked like Carbajal's punches weren't even affecting him. I think the reason the trilogy is not often talked about is because the 2nd and 3rd fights weren't even close to the level of the 1st.

The ultimate = Moore vs. Durelle

Moore was down FOUR times, before coming back to stop Durelle.

How can I forget that one?

[MikeHunt]

I vote for Larry Holmes twice.

1st against Renaldo Snipes and then against Ernie Shavers.
