Which athlete had the greatest comeback?

[Serana]

Randy Couture. Anthony Johnson. Robbie Lawler

 

[Lord Charles**]

Jordan

I really don't understand why so many people say Michael jordan. he wasnt injured, was staying in good shape playing baseball and was only gone for a year and a half... derrick rose was away longer than jordan and had multiple injuries. yeah, he won 3 more championships, but having multiple hall of famers helps and they were already a proven playoff contender without him.

Not only does he play at the most demanding position in the NFL but he's also in a REAL sport with A Level athletes


LOL @ anyone listing Frank Mur in that pseudo sport with F level athletes

Lefty O'Doul is a good story as well

 

[420SherCat]

Hbk. Came back after injuring his neck at the top of his game then pass the torch to SCSA at wrestlemania. Years later he returns and wins the title vs hhh at the first Elimination match. What a feel good story.

Anyone mention Marcus Allen? Sort of a different 'comeback' but I still think it applies.

 

[squeezewax]

muhammad ali. he was stripped of his title for 3 yrs, then came back and won it again.

 

[YoungBoyd]

Foreman won a weak championship and did nothing to hold it.
Michael Jordan didn't come back from injury

Josh Hamilton, Frank Mir, James Braddock, Nicki Lauda, and Greg Lemond all had very difficult combacks.

Weak how?

 

[Bonos]

Mario Lemieux was the man, and i'm not even a hockey fan.

Jordan never "left". His Wizards years, that was his comeback and it was a joke.

 

[SuwoopBangin]

Not many sports stories rival this one.

christ i think this guy wins.

 

[Merack]

Niki Lauda.

The man got his head burned up and came back after 6 weeks of hard treatments. He lost that championship by a single point but won the next one easily.
