    Nigel Benn vs Gerald McClellan? Like seriously guys, Benn was knocked out off the ring when the fight just started.

    Rex Layne vs Bob Satterfield is also another pretty good one:

    David Izon's fights are also mostly epic comebacks. Such as against Lewis, Jefferson and Wilson

    Honestly don't know where to start.

    First fight that came to mind was Joe Louis vs Billy Conn.

    I suppose Eubank Watson 2 and Benn G-Man are good examples albeit with sad consequences.

    There must be literally hundreds of examples.

    The fight should have ended when Benn was knocked out of the ring

    Nah, what really happened was that Benn was just testing the ropes for any weak areas and he uncovered one, almost immediately, and correctly reported it to the authorities in double quick time before stepping back into the ring. It wasn’t really a knockdown, it was just an excellent example of following health and safety protocol.
