    Marquez was the first name that came to mind. He had a crazy second wind.

    Jose Luis Lopez could take a beating and was never out of the fight. That kid could come back with the Hammer of God after you thought he was beat down.

    Lazarus Holmes is a choice pick.

    Not many fighters could look any more knocked out until they weren’t.

    Imagine how Earnie Shavers felt when, after knocking Larry “dead”, he turned back to see Holmes resurrecting himself?

    Calzaghe. Observe how gingerly he arose after Mitchell KD'd him here, Joe was genuinely hurt, yet 10 seconds later he had his feet back under him and was if he hadn't been caught at all -

    He was also badly hurt by Iran Barkley. That first round was arguably better than Hagler-Hearns.

    That big ole lump Tyson Fury can pretty much come back from the dead to win.

    Billson "Recuperative" Renfield has to have a mention, honourably. 1911-1940. Jah bless. Will be missed. Didn't recuperate from that TB.

    That is some wicked action. Both throwing too wide, but wicked nonetheless.

    Yeah, imperfect technique, but great action.

    Look at the expression on Calzaghe's face as he staggers back to his feet. He was hurt. Far more so than the other KD's he suffered. Amazingly quick recovery.
