Have there been any fights where a fighter made an unthinkable comeback?

Soo-Hwan Hong v Hector Carrasquilla - WOW....down 4 times in roiund 2...fires back to stop his foe in round 3!

 

David Haye vs Carl Thompson

Thompson was getting smashed very badly in the early rounds but managed to hang in there and turn it around.

 

Ali Vs Foreman.

I don't know what the cards were but it seems to me using the Rope-A-Dope for most of the fight Ali couldn't win a decision.

 

Prescott vs Alvarado anyone?
Burton vs Elder ?

 

Why not? JMM arguably won nearly every round after the knockdowns. That's a pretty impressive comeback tbh...

 

Yup. Everyone watching JMM/Pac 1 did not think Marquez would make it past the first round after the 3 KDs. Definitely an ATG comeback fight. Unfortunately he only was rewarded with a draw.


Don't know if this one has been mentioned but Chiquita Gonzalez vs Saman Sorjaturong also qualifies. No spoilers for those who have not seen it.

Tim Austin Mbulelo Botile, McKinney Ncita

 

blizzyblizz against the coathanger his momma tried spearing him with. if it wasnt for the stretching alis hands had pounded out, blizzy would of lost that one.

 

cant believe miura vs vargas hasn't been mentioned

 

Randall Bailey v Mike Jones.

 

Pretty much schooled Pacquiao for the rest of the fight. I think I gave Pac the 2nd rd and maybe another round somewhere else.

 

Back and forth fight.

Vargas did good in the beginning, Miura took over the middle rounds, and Vargas closed the show.

 

McCallum vs Curry

 

vargas looked done the round before the stoppage
