    Harding over Andries
    Marciano over Walcott

    both of these fights come to mind. Which other fights did the winner absorb a huge amount of punishment before prevailing against the odds?

    Izon - Jefferson - Izon took a massive beating, was on the verge of being stopped and was trailing all scorecards.

    Wilson - Tshabalala - Wilson took some serious shots from hard-punching Tshabalala, was knocked down 2 times but still rallied to win in.

    Thompson - Haye, Rothman, Sellers - Thomspon was no stranger to wars.

    Bowe - Golota was quite dramatic.;)

    The most outrageous example I've ever heard of..well at least in relatively recent years anyway...

    and it's almost a token gesture to post these vids as they're next to unwatchable..lol

    Tate vs Weaver

    Suppose Taylor vs Chavez too.

    I sure wish there was Lester..it's almost like not having a vid at all with this one in such bad shape. It's almost unwatchable.

    luke, I don't think Jake took any kind of beating from Cerdan in this fight.
