    Which fight do you think could qualify as the biggest come from behind fight, which happened to be done on a big stage. I'm sure this has happened many times in "smaller" fights but I'm looking for it happening during huge fights or world title fights. Which fight would you nominate where a guy looked totally done and like he was going to get KO or the fight stopped and he turned it around totally?

    Tate - Weaver - 15th round with Weaver way behind on the cards scores a KO

    LaMotta - Dauthuille II - 15th round with LaMotta way behind on the cards scores a KO

    Taylor - Anaya I - 14th round with Taylor waaayyyyyyyy behind pulls it out with a one-punch KO

    McGuigan vs Cruz kind of qualifies. When a fight ends in a decision win for the trailing fighter he obviously wasn't as far behind as Weaver was against Tate for example, because if you win a decision after a furious finish, you must have been winning some rounds throughout.

    Nevertheless, Cruz was a huuuuuuuge underdog, and flooring Barry, who was a golden boy of boxing at the time, repeatedly, in the final round of a title fight that he probably wasn't really qualified to compete in, while fighting in that extreme heat takes enviable resolve.

    Marciano Vs Walcott.

    Walcott was ahead on all cards.


    Hearns vs Leonard for the lower weights.

    I think hands down.

    Julio Cesar Chavez Vs Meldrick Talyor.

    Literally seconds left for Taylor to win.
