    Holmes-Shavers, their second fight. Miraculous recovery by Larry.

    A few others.

    Archie Moore in his first fight with Yvonne Durelle. As Moore said of the first knockdown in that fight (and he was down more than once): "I felt as if the top of my head had been blown off. I walked the street of dreams."

    David Walker got up from a couple of massive knockdowns against Spencer Fearon in the first and then again in the second round and stopped Fearon in the fourth, albeit he was probably saved by the bell both times. Darren Barker recovering from that body shot by Daniel Geale which floored and looked to have knocked everything right out of him and coming back to win the decision was mightily impressive, too.

    Not the most devastating knockdowns, but what about Ramirez tasting the canvas twice early on against the best Lightweight hitter of that era in Rosario and then coming back to halt Rosario himself soon after?

    not so much a big profile fight but a great one to watch with a great comeback. Tommy Coyle vs Brizuela (sp) Coyle got dropped like 3 times with body shots got up dropped the other guy twice.. then got dropped another two times i think to get up after the last knockdown and landed a massive shot to pretty much end it AWESOME fight

    "Darren Barker recovering from that body shot by Daniel Geale which floored and looked to have knocked everything right out of him and coming back to win the decision was mightily impressive, too."

    Watching that fight I was screaming at the TV willing Barker on how he got thro those two rounds ill never know. the ref was literally just about to step in ... im screaming "fukin throw something back son... anything" then he mustered up 3/4 decent punches just afore the ref stepped in the remaining rounds after that he was excellent. Was never really much of a Barker fan until that fight. Amazing night
