Have there been any fights where a fighter made an unthinkable comeback?

    What about the Ali v Foreman fight,Imremember first seeing that fight whilst obviously knowing the result and as the rounds went by and Ali continued to get pounded on the ropes I remember thinking I must of tuned into another fight as there was no way I could see Ali turn that round let alone drop Foreman.
    That was truly epic,something that fifteen rounds had made em brutal affairs just to watch?

    Morrison was putting on a master class beat down that included Ali shuffles bolo punches and a 3rd rate vaudeville slapstick on a bloodied and battered michael bent that bordered on Geneva convention doctrine involment for brutality.
    **** Right as Morrison was about to land a Randy Johnsonisque* windup left hook on his grotesquely disfigured, blinded, borderline coma, utterly defenseless, down an all the cards foe, Bentt* stuck out his arm in a plead for mercy which grazed the onrushing blood thirsty maniacal Morrison on the chin and sent him crashing to the canvas like an exploded sack of potatoes.
    ** Thus came to end one of the greatest comebacks, down on all cards,* match drawing to a close , improbable championship winning efforts

    Marciano-Walcott I

    Marciano had been knocked down in the first round and was behind 4-8 on one of the scorecards. Knocked Walcott out cold in the 13th round with his signature suzie q.

    This question is better suited for the classic forum.

    He wasn't taking brutal punishment but he also wasn't fighting at all Micky Ward I forget the opponent but it was so bad I was calling for the fight to be stopped and then boom two hooks to the body and he won.
