Boxers who fought better after getting knocked down

Larry Holmes activated feather fisted spartan rage when he got dropped by Ernie

 

Prince Charles Williams after getting dropped hard by Bobby Czyz in the 2nd and then hurt again early in the 3rd. He took control in that wild 3rd to dominate the rest of the fight.

Chris Eubank against Michael Watson is an obvious example.

Although, I think Watson's defeat and serious injury would not have occurred if his neck hadn't struck the rope when he went down.

 

I think Marquez got up a fair number of times in other fights too so he’s a fair inclusion.

 

Wilfredo Gomez

 

I wouldn’t call Larry Holmes feather fisted and I don’t think any of the 44 people he stopped would either.

 

Larry could punch, but when he hit ernie with everything it seemed like he couldnt care less

 

Diego Corrales

 

Rocky Graziano

 

He was dropped by Leonardo Cruz was that the fight you’re talking about? - I’ll add that in nearly every fight I’ve seen with a live body Gomez gets hurt and wakes up, that’s more what I’m getting at.

 

Prime trinidad and aaron pryor

 

Nigel Benn was very dangerous when hurt; the same was true of Iran Barkley.
