Best Come-From-Behind Victory
Louis' victory over Conn probably runs away with it, in terms of popularity.
Chavez vs. Taylor comes in second, particularly because of how controversial it was. But there's at least one that out-does them both. I know I comedown hard on LaMotta quite often on this forum. I amworried that Iam beingoverly critical. So I will throw him a bone, and make nod to GhostofDempsey Here's LaMotta avenging his loss to the VERY TALENTED Dauthille, with the greatest come-from-behind win of all time. Vintage LaMotta. |

Does it have to be a long fight that ended in the championship rounds? In that case Cavez-Taylor for me, When Chavez landed a huge right hand that started that big drama show, he hunted Taylor down like a predator goes after wounded prey. Goosebumps are never absent when watching that.

I guess fights of the Willard-Johnson type should be counted, too. But really, anything is worth mentioning. I agree. Chavez was biding his time. Not trying to rush for the finish before the opportunity clearly presented itself. He was going to try to force it, to risk giving Taylor an escape or opportunity to counter with effective offense. Totally different than Tua. You could see Tua was always trying to dothe Chavez thing. But Chavez against Taylor was amazing....he STOPPED Taylor from running, and made great use of what was available to him. I have often suspected Walker-Flowers was similar, and the judges were smart enough to separate effective offense from flashy offense. Anyway, the right call wasmade. Taylor wasa broken man. |

After 2 days no one has mentioned Corrales-Castillo??
Another wild come-from-behind win was Arnold Taylor flattening Romeo Anaya with a single punch... after he himself had been down 4 times. Shannon Briggs' last-second (literally) win over Liakhovich also comes to mind. |

LaMotta vs Dauthille is definitely up there. Foreman vs. Moorer comes to mind. Walcott was schooling Marciano for 12 rounds until he got KO'd in the next round.
