Which fighters have survived the heaviest knockdowns to come back a win a fight?

He didn't stop him, McClellan had a blood clot which worsened from the rabbit punches the British ref let Benn get away with.. and we all know what happened then. It's some sad ****, really.

 

Ezra sellers vs carl thompson. That was a mad fight.

 

This immediately sprung to mind.

Douglas vs. Tyson
Spinks vs Judah I
Antwun Echols vs Charles Brewer (Brewer drilled him and he got up)
Calzaghe vs Mitchell (Calzaghe looked drunk and came back)
Benn vs Mcclellan although....

 

Lyle vs Shavers, too.

Julio Gonzalez vs Julian Letterlough. The third and final KD suffered by Gonzalez looked to have knocked him cold, but he came back to score a second KD of his own in the very next round, and then went on to score a decision.

 

Berto actually dropped Ortiz incredibly hard in their match.

Punch looked like it was swung from the back row.

 

Well Marquez got back up after being flattened three times and potentially won the fight though I had it a draw. In fact Dinamita has probably the best ability to recover from getting his ass on the canvas.

Froch Groves 1 was a ridiculous effort from the Cobra.
Maidana vs Ortiz and Khan was a very close fight
Bradley vs Provodnikov

 

In the Holmes autobiography he said when Shavers hit him all he saw was a flash and he had thought a cameraman had entered the ring and taken a picture right at his face. This one takes the cake for me.

 

Man I love this fight, both combatants both gone so young too.

Letterlough had a great career for someone who only had full use of one of his arms.

 

As already said Froch Vs Groves I, Froch was out cold until he hit the floor.

Same with Benn Vs McClellan, Benn was out cold too, hit the floor and somehow got up.

I'm sure there are many others but those two spring to the front of my little mind.

 

I got really ****ed off how Groves gave no respect to Froch for taking that shot, somehow coming back gradually to a semblance of himself and controversially putting the ref in a position to intervene, I mean that shot was the best anybody could hope to hit a guy with outside of launching a kitchen sink through a cannon at him... yet Groves could barely give any form of positive comment for how Froch came back into the fight.

It's like Khan against Maidana, I don't think people quite grasp how much that would affect a fighter for the next few rounds.

 

Duran-deJesus II

Duran down first rnd in these fight then stoppage dejesus

 

Ali vs Cooper? That was a heavy shot that put Ali down at the end of the round. A minute later he's up and wailing on Cooper in this weirdly casual way.

 

Duran-deJesus II

Duran down first rnd in these fight then stoppage dejesus

 

I wouldn't say that Duran was hurt. He got right back up and wasn't phased by that KD at all.
