    Shannon Briggs against Lewis deserves a mention. How he kept getting up I'll never know.

    I could also name about 4 Wayne McCullough fights here, he wasn't human.

    I second that! I love his quote about never blocking with his gloves because he doesn't like it when his arms go numb.

    Katsidis vs Casamayor

    Katsidis actually managed to drop Casa once after being down twice himself.

    But he was taking the kind of beating that takes years off your career, if not your life. Regardless of whether he was winning or not. In Boxing you can take a real beating even if you win, Gomez-Pintor is such an example.

    Eubank v Watson has to be up there. Eubank gets beaten from pillar to post the whole fight before getting dropped heavily... comes back with the uppercut from hell.
