    Well it's been posted on these boards in the last few days, it has to be Archie Moore v Durelle.

    One of my favourite s. Can recall seeing marciano crack that right hand against Walcott s for the first time many moons ago on a boxing vid. Seeing it in slow motion as Walcott just drops along the ropes as if been shot. Brilliant come back!

    That's a good modern one and Taylor didn't have much luck with fighters coming from behind against him.

    Can't remember how far behind Benn was but must have been a fair few rounds.

    Weaver - Tate was sudden, brutal and totally out of the blue very late in the fight. Maybe not so much a comeback as a sudden against the tide KO tho he did start to get it going a little the round before.
