Who made the greatest comeback in the sport of boxing?

Don't forget Nelson III.


LOL

 

Perhaps the performance of Fenech's career that one, too.

 

Big George, but I am heavily biased. Maybe Roberto Duran after "No Mas".

 

He didn’t accrue injuries during that time and fought a bunch of cans to get back in form. It’s overblown.

 

LOL!

10 years!

The entire world gets it but you.

It is just coming across as some kind of hate campaign.

Give a rest.

 

Pacquiao, Foreman, HM to Donaire. Manny came back after a year of being inactive and knocked out cold, became the oldest welterweight champion. Nobody just comes back from such a defeat and continue a second run and win the title as the oldest even.

 

in the years I've been watching boxing, it's Tyson Fury.

 

Absolutely, Foreman hands down. Leonard beating Hagler was monumental.

 

1. Foreman
2. Ali
3. Leonard
4. Fury
5. Vitali

Wlad's case doesn't qualify as a comeback per se, but nobody would say he would dominate like he did after Sanders/Brewster losses and going life and death with Peter.

 

Foreman.

And it ain’t even close.

 

Off 4 years, and then straight into a title fight

Willie Pep. Survived a plane crash with a broken leg and two fractured vertebrae. Returns to the ring a successfully defends his feathweight crown and boxes for several more years.

Also Vinny Paz. Who can forget seeing him exercising with Frankenstein like bolts in his skull.

 

Not sure how you can ask yourself this question, start a thread, and post responses in this thread and common sense doesn't yell at you that the true answer is George Foreman. To have already had a hall of fame resume before retirement, walk away from the sport to do ministry only to come back a decade later. Share the ring with top world class athletes whom are almost half his age and still become the Unified Heavyweight World Champion.

 

Herr Maske coming out of retirement to set the record correct and finishing his career having beat everyone he ever faced.

 

Don't really think Fury counts in all honesty.

Big George Foreman amazing story.
