    Shane is a good call.

    I'll throw Nate Campbell in the mix too.

    Other than those mentioned... Bernard Hopkins? After his losses to Taylor and considering his age, everyone wrote him off. He jumped up in weight to beat Tarver, Wright, and Pavlik. Three pretty damn good wins. He also had a good fight against Calzaghe.

    I'd go with Campbell as well.

    Mosley, Adamek, and Vic are honorable mentions.

    Easily, it's Shane, Vitali, and Vic.

    All three fighters overcame incredible adversity to get back on top!!

    Glen Johnson. He faded all the way to journeyman status before roaring back a few years ago.

    Shane Mosley, if you recall he had a record 1 win, 4 losses and a no contest over 5 fights. And the one win not only looked like a loss but he was on roids whether knowingly or not. Now he is the WW champ.
