King of rematches...

Antonio Tarver; has a perfect rematch record of 3-0.

 

Azumah Nelson acquitted himself extremely well in rematches with Jeff Fenech,Gabe Rueles,and Jesse Leija.

 

Louis definately

 

Yeah after Robinson, Nelson was as good as anyone IMO.

 

Definitely Joe Louis. :good

 

Lewis did alright in his rematches, Holyfield, McCall, Rahman

 

True.

 

Bobby Chacon sticks in my mind. Schoolboy was kayoed twice by Olivares, before scoring a decision win, lost his next match to tough Arturo Leon, and won their eventual rematch five years later, lost the first match to Bazooka Limon, settled for a technical draw in their second, then swept the last two in that series. Finally, after getting stopped by Boza Edwards in an intitial meeting, Bobby won the rematch.

Chacon's career was rather bizarre in that respect. Olivares stopped him twice, blowing Bobby out in two the second time around, and should have had a virtually insurmountable psychological advantage over Schoolboy going into a third go around. Yet for Chacon, the third time was the charm, and he comfortably outpointed Reuben.

It looked like Bobby's career was over, after his late round loss in a match which Boza Edwards had very comfortably on two of the scorecards. But in their rematch, Chacon turned the tables.

To further compound matters, Bobby was generally smaller and older than the opponents he won these rematches against, with only the great Olivares being significantly older than Bobby. (Even then, Reuben had only just turned 30 at the time of their final bout.)

 

Ali against Frazier, Norton, and Spinks. Although only one of these rematches was for the title.

 

Huh? Ali's final matches against all three were title fights. (I assume you meant for regaining the championship against Spinks.)

 

Marvin Hagler was far far better in rematches, which also underlines (IMO) his one weakness for mine.

 

If your talking rubber matches, then your correct as well. But the thread title is "king of rematches". Ali beat Norton in their rematch in 1973, and the Frazier win was 1974. These were non-title fights.

Out of all the rematches I mentioned, only one was a title fight, Spinks.

 

i dont know he did get a gift judge call in the 3rd norton fight frazier gave him one hell of a beating (not like he was winning just how he hit him alot of times)

but spinks was a damn great performance showed his greatness

 

Rematches, not rubber matches.
