    Foreman's probably has the top spot. Leonard's was nothing to sneeze at.

    You know, a lot of people had written off Marco Antonio Barrera after his two losses to Junior Jones. Of course, he was far from done and had many great wins after that.

    Muhammad Ali's and Mike Tyson's comebacks were great.

    MAB has to be up there. He is the king of comebacks.

    Leonard made the most , and greatest comebacks.

    Georges was stunning..

    But Audley makes the most comebacks, he is staging constant comebacks..
    He hurt himself after his first pro fight and had to come back, he then lost to Williams and had to come back, then he lost to Guinn and yet again he came back.. finally he lost to sprott and had to come back , now after all that garbage he had an awful car crash that was no joke and his brother passed away , he had to get back on track to come back..

    Audley is a nice feller but cant afford any more set backs...

    Ali by far ... he spent time in prison as champion ... lost his championship ... came back to beat the then recognized champion and become the same figure that he was before his setback.

    Tyson can be included as well but he never gained the undisputed title ... but he did gain back a unified championship.

    Foreman hands effing down. In fact, if Foreman were to campain properly, I think he could take out just about any current top 10 heavyweight aside from maybe Wlad - He could title at 60.

    Duran winning the middleweight title at 37 was pretty amazing.. not really a comeback though
