    Carl Thompson was quite amazing.

    Cameback from batterings against Akim Tafer, David Haye, Chris Eubank (x2), Terry Dunstan, Sebastiaan Rothman in terrific fights.

    Was waiting for Fury to be mentioned. That he survived Wilder 1 was one of the most unreal moments I've ever had in boxing.

    The others are very good mentions as well.

    Good list. Trinidad seemed to get up stronger and really put the hurt on opponents after he was tagged.
    Joe Louis doesn't get enough credit in this area. He was dangerous when hurt.
    Mathew Saad was an Alien for awhile.

    He was unusual to say the least. They say he would rather be surfing than fighting but whoever he touched fell down.
    The Quartey fight was not normal either.
