    Another Bazooka is Bazooka Limon.

    That fight vs Boza was slightly close,if he didn't waste his chances on the two final rounds he might be able to win,but again he might've been too tired to rally longer.

    Lamon Brewster took a pretty good beating before flipping the script on Wlad in their first fight.

    Another might be Sugar Ray Leonard losing on the cards vs Hearns and Lalonde then knocking them out.

    Dammit. You stole my post.

    Jeffries could take it and bleed and ultimately win. See: Sharkey, Fitz, Corbett.

    Muhammad Ali, in "The Thrilla in Manilla" deserves a mention. He felt close to death, had vision problems, and thought about quitting, from the beating he took, but rallied to win the fight against Joe Frazier.
