A fighter would have to be awfully young to make a comeback to be successful. All the dinosaurs like Holyfield and Tyson have no chance to get a title shot so I agree with the other poster. Right now I would say none comes to mind.
I had Lennox Lewis in mind.
George Foreman:D......Again:D
former great tim austin
he got og status

The Great Audley Harrison is currently in this process ;):rolleyes:
And does anyone actually think Vitali can give it a good go?

Yeah I agree if he can return to his old form he's capable of beating the lot with his brother, but 4 years out and constantly plagued with injuries doesn't sound very positive to me.Quote:

Rocky Balboa, I think he's the only one with the style and temperament to come back again.
I thought Ike Quartey was going to make a successful comeback, I think the loss in the Forrest bout discouraged him. I also think he was jobbed out of a decision win.
Andrew Golota if he just stayed active he'd do very well....well enough to take on the Valuev's, Chagaev's, and Sultan's of the division.
Actually I agree with this,his punch is still thereQuote:

and Steve Forbes can still give hell at 140
Vitali DEFINITELY!!!
