    David Haye vs Carl Thompson

    Thompson was getting smashed very badly in the early rounds but managed to hang in there and turn it around.

    Ali Vs Foreman.

    I don't know what the cards were but it seems to me using the Rope-A-Dope for most of the fight Ali couldn't win a decision.

    Why not? JMM arguably won nearly every round after the knockdowns. That's a pretty impressive comeback tbh...

    Yup. Everyone watching JMM/Pac 1 did not think Marquez would make it past the first round after the 3 KDs. Definitely an ATG comeback fight. Unfortunately he only was rewarded with a draw.


    Don't know if this one has been mentioned but Chiquita Gonzalez vs Saman Sorjaturong also qualifies. No spoilers for those who have not seen it.

    Pretty much schooled Pacquiao for the rest of the fight. I think I gave Pac the 2nd rd and maybe another round somewhere else.

    Back and forth fight.

    Vargas did good in the beginning, Miura took over the middle rounds, and Vargas closed the show.
