    But Lee has also looked bad in all 3 fights this year.

    He went to a MD with Horta. He was getting absolutely dominated by Jackson, on the verge of getting knocked out. I thought he was losing to Korobov as well. In the last two fights he rallied with a right hook and stopped both opponents but he was anything but dominant in those performances. Does anyone see Andy Lee as a champion that's going to reign for a while? Personally, I think he loses his belt to Saunders in his first defense.

    Juarez on the other hand had a much more impressive performance over a surging Alvarado and he looks like he may actually challenge and possibly compete with Gonzalez. Also consider that Juarez was basically out of the sport and was on a 6 fight losing streak. His comeback is remarkable.

      In that Rocky Juarez fight, there was some debate as to the winner.

      Alexander Povetkin came back strongly after a prolonged beating v Wlad. KO'd Charr and TBR #5 Takam.

          Coming back from a brain bleed to win a piece of the MW title is how I define the term "comeback". Taylor is one.

          Coming back from a cancer prognosis to win a piece of the MW or SMW title, Danny Jacobs and Anthony Dirrell, is another way to define it.

          Rocky Juarez doesn't really do it for me.

            It's hard to dismiss Soliman's knee injury during that fight. I mean he was basically playing hopscotch for the last 5-6 rounds and Taylor couldn't even finish him.

              Rocky Juarez, Manny Pacquiao, Andy Lee and Miguel Cotto all had great comebacks in 2014!

              Can't wait to see what they bring in 2015! WAR BOXING!

                Amir Khan has gone from boxing scene joke to elite level welterweight.

                  Jermain Taylor and Andy Lee were the first names that came to my mind. Then Bundrage.

                    1) Andy Lee ( Juarez beating him for come back honors is just silly. )
                    2) Jermaine Taylor
                    Amir Khan never really went away.
                    It's only his chin that requires a comeback.

                      Abner came out of the shadows.

                      He's no punk and he looked like a little force. Jhonny might think twice about rematching him. Might not be a 1 sided op this time.
