Best In-Ring Recovery Ability in Boxing History

[FrankieClutch]

The first name that came to mind was JMM. His toughness and resiliency was insane

[HitmanTommy]

Evander Holyfield.

[Rockybigblower]

Joe Calzaghe.
Dropped in the first round against 2 first ballot hall of famers and got up to dominate and almost shut out both of them.

At heavyweight a prime larry homes . I agree with the OP . Today fury showed some crazy stuff too that was very holmes esque . Man there are alot of guys to think about . Diego corrales has to be mentioned . Not the best chin but good recovery . Maybe it's more heart and power that bailed him out but none the less . Arturo gatti has to be mentioned. Archie moore has to be one of the best recuperating guys I can think of the Yvonne durell fight was crazy and as someone else mentioned Jmm deseves some serious credit pac 1 and katsidis were both fights that gave great examples of this from him . And another more recent guy has to be tim Bradley. Holt and porvodkinov both massacred him early and he went on to win .

From the top of my head, prime Evander Holyfield for sure

Evander Holyfield.

^^^^^^^^^

By a mile no question.

Bert Cooper HURT Holyfield so badly for a full 50 seconds it looked the fight was over and all Cooper needed was one more decent shot. 10 seconds after that Holyfield was on the verge of knocking out Cooper.



It's legitimately ridiculous and ****** the way Evander could rally back after getting utterly devastated by someone.

Are you a real fan?

BEYOND SHOT Roy Jones scored a fluke flash knockdown on Joe. Hardly a threatening situation.

Unless you have signed on to fight RJJ...don't be so disrespectful.

Oh STFU. Calzaghe faced nothing resembling real adversity in that fight.

Would get my vote too.

He would get buzzed and you'd know what was coming. He'd cover up for 5 seconds, gather himself, and then swing like hell.

Incredible recovery skills. Produced some phenomenal rounds as a result.
