    What are the best come from behind knockouts or stoppages you have ever seen?

    Lewis-Bruno has to be up there.

    Recently Wardley vs Huni.

    Alexander Povetkin vs Dillian Whyte 1.

    Tyson vs Botha even though Tyson looked old and lathergic for most of it.

    Toney vs Nunn although this was very competitive. Still, Nunn appeared to be leading.

    Which else?

    Eubank against Watson was ridiculous.

    Foreman - Lyle
    Holmes - Shavers

    In both cases it possitively looked like Larry and Big George were down and out for good.
    But somehow they recovered and went to win.

    It's pretty crazy how that one uppercut after the break did that much permanent damage to Watson. It wasn't one of those tragic outcomes you could see coming from a sustained beating. It just came out of nowhere. Goes to show you how dangerous this sport is. One punch can change your life.

    The King of 'Come from behind' knockouts is the unforgettable Castro - Jackson 1 (F.O.T.Y 1994 and the 9th round was R.O.T.Y).

    Danny Williams versus whoever it was. Arm gone, one handed fighter, epic KO.

    The fact they had no ambulance, no paramedics, no oxygen... jesus. WTF were they doing back then? That should be there for every fight, including amateur contests for kids.

    And why did his corner let him out? Yeah, he got up, but it was clear he wasn't there. I just re-watched it. He wasn't responding to anyone, he stumbled into his corner, etc. At a point, look, your man lost, now you need to worry about his health and his life.
