    Okay, Robbi, good enough. (Just wanted to get the semantics straight.)

    You guys have taken my first choices.

    Terry Norris has performed well in rematches.

    :patschOEPS !!
    In my defence, i don't consider that a typical Nelson fight
    In his prime he would have destroyed Leija

    Yes you are right to a degree, although he was a lucky man, he had ref in his pocket for that Charles rematch, that nose injury was truly horrible.

    The only fight he lost that he kind of got revenge was Coley Wallace, they ended up 1 and 1;)

    Cooper
    Patterson
    Chuvalo
    Bugner
    Liston
    Quarry
    Frazier
    Norton
    Spinks

    Thats tough to beat. How an earth I forgot these names earlier I'll never know. I'm sure thats all of Ali's rematches. I might be wrong.

    Chacon was dropped in the third fight with Limon and frankly I thought Rafael was robbed in what many consider a home-town decision.

    To be fair I think Ruben well past his peak given his propensity for the high-life and the previous few years of wars he'd been in. Chacon was just coming into his own around this time.

    Do you know if any of the Chacon v Arturo Leon fights exist on tape? The 1977 fight would be very interesting.

    Victor Galindez avenged all his losses bar the last 2 of his career. He fought Jorge Ahumada 5 times, Ramon Peralta 6, and Juan Aguilar 9 times!! Those guys seemed to have some sort of round-robin contest going in the late 60's early 70's.

    Joe Louis - doesn't he have ten rematches, ten decisive Ws! Not only that but among them are Ws over greats such as Schmeling, Walcott, Conn etc

    Emile Griffith had quite a few rematches in his time. He didn't always win them, but he had quite a few.
