I think that I would have to go with Julio Caesar Chavez knockout of Meldrick Taylor. That was an incredible night. There was NO doubt that Chavez was well behind and needed the KO. In the second spot, I'd have to go with Sugar Ray Leonard coming back and knocking out Tommy Hearns in their first fight.

Let's hear some others

Froch v Taylor, foreman v moorer, eubank v Watson and Castro v Jackson I think theres a few more heavies will have a think

Tate v berbick

There's been a few but Chavez-Taylor 1 is the definitive No1 IMO

Can't remember exactly but a south African fella v one of the 80s alphabet boys, help me out

I thought Mosley should have been behind on the cards when he knocked out Mayorga in the last second's in there first fight.

Andrade should have had an epic comeback win against Bute in their first fight, but the Mr. Magoo ref ruined it for him.

How so? Bute went down with about three seconds left and got up in about eight seconds, so I don't think Wright interrupting the count saved him, as even with a fair count he would've made it up within ten and Andrade wouldn't have had time to follow up.

I think you're thinking of Mike Weaver vs Gerrie Coetzee, which was the fight that followed Mike Weaver's dramatic come from behind 15th round Knockout of John Tate.

I think it's the Weaver vs Tate fight you're thinking of, but Coetzee who Weaver fought in his very next bout was a South African.

Jake Lamotta vs a French guy can't remember his name.....

Andries V Harding 1 was straight out of a Rocky movie. Down on all three scorecards Harding got the stoppage then went on to be a serviceable Champion. Eventually coming up against a beast called McCallum losing a fairly close decision

Audley vs Sprott 2. Million pound punch

Shannon Briggs vs. Sergei Liakhovich

Briggs trailing on the cards and knocking his opponent out of the ring in the very last seconds.

Corrales v Castillo 1

Laurent Dauthuille. LaMotta played possum on the ropes 'cos he had been outboxed for 14 1/2 rounds & the Frenchman charged him.

Baaaaaaaaaaad mistake...

First of all, he was so badly concussed that the fight should have been stopped, period. Second of all, the count ended up eating something like 25 seconds off the clock. It was shady as hell.

That's my call - I still remember watching it as a kid on a sunday night, and running into the kitchen shouting to my mum about it.

Toney v Nunn
Froch v Taylor
