    I just watched Holmes-Cobb and couldn't believe that they didn't stop that fight or Cobb did not get knocked down

    Duran vs Leonard 1 And Gatti vs Ward 1. Those had me questioning the durability of the human body.

    Benn-McCellan - Marquez-Pac 1 - I mean what a guy JMM is and was. Archie Moore was also down 3 times in the first round in 1 fight and came back to win but I forget his opponent. For that reason I always put JMM and Archie in the same bracket as absolute intelligent warriors.

    Also 1 of the first fights I watched in about '89 or '90. I was a kid in a hotel room. 1 guy got kocked down in round 1 and was ready to go but he came back to win the fight on the British domestic circuit. Seemed amazing at the time, I didn't know boxing so well back then and couldn't believe it happened.
