what is the greatest come from behind win in a championship bout?

two immediately come to mind corrales x castille and lamotta x daughtille im sure there are more. which of the two above do you feel was a more dramatic come back for me its up in the air ive seen them both and cant call it.

 

Leonard-Hearns 1, Chavez-Taylor 1

 

Lamotta vs Dauthille is definitely one of them

I would also put

Moore vs Duerelle

and

Marciano vs. Walcott


moral of the story:

The 50's were awesome

 

Marciano - Walcott I
Marciano - Charles II
Louis - Walcott II
Louis - Conn

 

Mike Weaver losing 14 1/2 rounds to John Tate before pulling out a 1 punch KO.

Not the greatest comebacks but some worthy of a mention and definately worth a watch if you've never seen them.

Robert Hines vs Matthew Hilton
Glenn McCrory vs Siza Makhatini (This is quite funny as McCrory took a battering and was crying his eyes out at one point in the fight)

 

Fitz-Corbett
Jeff-Fitz

 

is there film of the whole lamotta - daughtille fight? ive only seen a small portion of the last round where lamotta comes on and kos daughtille, but from what ive read jake was very far behind and didnt seem to be fighting that much just barley hanging around till the last round.

 

Old Foreman KO10 Moorer.
Old Foreman was behind on teh scorecars - BUT that Haymaker right-hand he KTFO Moorer with would of KO'D any Champ IMO.

 

Forty two year old Light Heavy Champ Archie Moore, getting up off the canvas four times to drop Yvonne Durelle four times for an eleventh round stoppage .10th Dec 1958

 

This is mine as well. One minute into round 12, Mike buckled John into the ropes with a big counter hook, but that was his only real moment into the contest until the end. This wasn't a situation where the winner was on the brink of being stopped, but he may have been further behind than any other winner in a title fight. My card had John ahead 139-127 going into that final round.

 

Saad Muhammad vs Marvin Johnson.

 

Tragically:

Eubank-Watson 2
Benn - McClellan

 

froch-jermaine taylor

 

Almost forgot, Jorge Castro-John David Jackson I. Can't remember the round, think it was the 9th, but Castro took one inhuman hammering before delivering the KO.
