Who Was The Most Historic Comeback Ever?

[N/A]

David Diamante. Paralysed by a motorbike accident. Broken back...broken arm and other injuries...3 months later back on deck announcing fights like nothing happened.

Edwin Valero: suffered a skull fracture and a cloth removal in February 2001, turning pro 18 months later and finishing the year with 5 fights in 4 months.

Suzi Q!!! he named that punch. i don't think anyone in the world knows why?

A popular dance step from the 1930s-'40s.

If you can visualize the dance step and then visualize Rocky throwing the right hand, it might makes sense. But just a guess.

From Google:

A dance step in which the hips and legs are swung sharply to one side while the shoulders and arms are bent forward and swung toward the opposite side with the clasped hands extended forward.

It is called “Susie Q” because it is a 3 count move, matching the sound of Su-sie-Q. So instead of counting one, two, three, we simply say Susie Q.

Good choices here!
Foreman is the most astonishing to me. Olympic gold in 1968' blows away the Holyfiend conquer in 1994, almost 95'.

Ali, Jofre, Leonard, and even Paz and Vitali spring to mind.


Craig "Gator" Bodzinowski is a heck of a story.



Bobby Halpern is another one:




Many might have forgotton the plane crash that might have ended the career of the Featherweight GOAT, Willie Pep:




But for my money, the astonishing story of one of Western Europe's all-time greatest world champions takes the prize:

these are two compilations of comebacks.

can i ask you guys "is it easier to come back in their career at lighter weights then it is at heavier weights? i ask because a middle weight as he ages can get heavier like james tony. are there more examples of brilliant career comebacks at lighter weight.

Edwin Valero: suffered a skull fracture and a cloth removal in February 2001, turning pro 18 months later and finishing the year with 5 fights in 4 months.

He put the cloth back on though and the comeback was over.

He put the cloth back on though and the comeback was over.

He went 27-0 with 27 KOs in 8 years. Though he had mental issues and abused substances.

- - Vit's comeback after 4 years of establishing Ukrainian political connections, he without a single tuneup taking on WBC champ Sam Peter who was a monster ranks up with Foreman's comeback.

Lol, yes the great SamPeter who arguably lost to a fat, blown up James Toney, and then went on to lost to Eddie Chambers. What a monster!!
