    There have been many thrilling and memorable come-from-behind wins in boxing history. Which three do you think are the greatest?

    For me, they are:

    1. Archie Moore vs Yvon Durelle
    2. Sugar Ray Leonard vs Thomas Hearns
    3. Julio Cesar Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor

    Which three are yours?

    Foreman v Moorer
    Marciano v Walcott 1
    Moore v Durelle

    gotta say the Leonard v Hearns one is a good pick too.
    Edit also Marciano v Charles 2 where Marciano needed the KO before a stoppage on cuts

    Hard to argue with any of those picks. Great choices.

    Hard to narrow down to three. There have been dozens of great come-from-behind's.
