how did foreman make such a comeback after 10 years out ??

well, couple of different opinions of his 'second' career there..
what i was trying to say was that he was never supposed to have gotten anywhere near that level at that age and after that long out....i remember when he began his comeback in 87 {?}, and i was an avid follower of the sport and read a lot about it in the boxing mags, and the opinion was that he was going to embarress himself, reporters were basically taking the **** out of him, others were openly worried for his well-being, but nobody, nobody expected him to go all the way
regardless of what performances he put in in some peoples eyes, the fact that he worked his way to get back to that level is astonishing....and not just the fact of his age, but combining it with a ten year absence...
i think he's one of the great heavyweights when you combine both careers.
not explaining myself well, but i know what i mean
