      Eddie Booker was partially blind (the result of doctored gloves) and at the end of his career when he took a rematch with Archie Moore (who he had drew with twice before) and knocked him out within 8 rounds.

            Bernard Hopkins every fight after the 2nd Taylor fight. He's arguably undefeated after that fight! Should be 7-0 after he lost his middleweight title!

            Destroy Tarver,beat Winky, robbed against Calzaghe, embarassed Pavlik, beat Erinque, beat Jones Jr, and put on one of the greatest comeback's in boxing history when he whooped Pascal's ass!

              Hes certainly extraordinary ,it still seems damn hard for anyone to get a convincing win over him, I don't know if I'd go as far as to say that he was robbed against Calzaghe, it was a close fight that I thought he won but a robbery? Don't think so.

              Barreras win over Hamed is very overrated IMO.

                  I think that's seriously one of the most overrated wins of recent memory, being that Lacy was a pile of crap and one of the most overrated fighters to do nothing of recent memory.

                  Edit: My bad, I'm getting confused between my threads not a bad choice.

                    Great pickup, Marquez is a great example.

                    Although Casamayor was getting there in age himself he was the Champion at the more comfortable weight who was a skilled tough fighter himself who was stopped for the first time.

                      Well that's not how the betting public had it state side...every bookie in the usa gave calzaghe more chance of surviving a firing squad than beating Lacy...in fact you only got to look at the old youtube videos or old boxing ****zine articles at the time to see how highly regarded Lacy was before the Calzaghe loss !
                      Some respected boxing jernos in the usa called lacy a mini mike tyson
