    Has no one really mentioned the very best example in recent memory?

    One that's never mentioned- Bruno vs Cummings (round 1). Bruno got hit by a right hand at the bell and he was out on his feet. He looked like he was sleepwalking going back to his corner (similar to MSM in one of his fights). Bruno survived a crazy 2nd round and went on to stop Cummings in the 7th round. Great recovery imo.

    More recently, I was impressed by Porter against Spence. Donaire's recovery against Inoue was also very impressive, regardless of the controversy. Lyle vs Shavers is also rarely mentioned in these discussions. Lyle's legs were on a different planet but he still recovered and came back to stop Shavers.

    Fury rose from the dead like the Undertaker at WrestleMania after that shot in the 12th. Unbelievable.

    Fury's rise was just beyond belief really. We know what Wilder's best shots do to people and he caught him falling with that follow up shot. Not only did he somehow rise but he was bossing and taunting him not too many seconds later. Insanity in a boxing ring. Getting that follow up left hook in as Fury was falling from the right hand should have meant the end of the night. It was gold watching Wilder's celebrating and showboating turn into shock and dismay.

    It was strange, he almost seemed to shrug off HUGE punches after getting up, great fighter.

    Corrales vs Castillo ( even with the intentional mouth guard spitting from Diego ).
    Holmes vs Shavers.
    Ali vs Frazier FOC.
    Fernando Vargas vs Wilfredo Rivera was also a great comeback as Vargas looked absolutely gone when smashed with a perfect right hand as he came into range.

    End of the 8th round. Just incredible.
    Watched this for the first time a couple days ago and that is definitly was one of the greatest fights I've ever seen.

    JMM vs Katsidis, Marquez was down HARD in round 3

    Moore v Durelle ,Holmes v Shavers ,Fury v Wilder, were the first 3 that came to my mind.

    Probably my favorite. Layne is caught with a skull-rocker in the 1st round and comes back to KO Satterfield.

    Dude had some stones. Beautiful right hand that took everything out of Satterfield.
