Boxers Who Have Had Successful Come-Backs After Getting Deactivated (Brutally KO'd)

Michael Watson after McCallum. Came back a much better fighter against Eubank in their second fight - near-unbeatable, even. He was flat for minutes.

 

Julian Jackson.

 

That's different, Tyson in his losses was NEVER KO'd Cold like Pac. Mike Never went to sleep, ever.

 

Julian Jackson lived and died by the KO.

John Ruiz came back well from the destruction job Tua did on him.

 

Joe Louis

 

It's actually somewhat common in heavyweight history...you can go back to Jack Johnson, Dempsey, Louis, and Patterson. George Foreman was the definition of it, even if it took years to come to fruition. Tyson still had a good run after Buster got to him, Lennox and Wlad bounced back from bad KO losses.

It's not an easy thing to do and probably not the ideal way to make it through one's career, but the ability to bounce back from a knockout loss has traditionally thinned out those with a true champion's will from those who can't pick their careers back off the canvas.

 

Terry Norris

 

Beyond perfect pick.

 

George Foreman. Ali knocked him out so badly he became a believer in God. George went on to become champ 20 years after that Ali straight right.

 

But Lewis never came back. :hey



Max Schmeling.

 

What is wrong with everyone here?

We are talking about getting knocked out cold. No movement whatsoever. Lights out. Like how Hatton went out after pacquiao.

E.g. Duran getting KOed by Hearns wasn't out cold. He was still moving.

 

manny strikes me as the kinda person that'll bounce back from that.

 

arturo gatti, they called him the rising pheonix many times
