I believe he meant Pep coming back to defend his title and win it back again after the plane crash which should have by all means ended his career.
Other candidates:
Robinson coming back after 3 years in retirement to win the middleweight title back 3 times in his late 30's.
Leonard coming back to defeat Hagler.
Ali being allowed to box again after 3 years in exile, winning the title from a prime George Foreman at 32.
Lesser known ones:
Vinny Pazienza getting an unlikely super middleweight title shot after breaking his neck in a car accident.
Cleveland Williams getting a shot at the heavyweight title after nearly dying and starving down to 140 lbs from being shot to the stomach by a police officer.
Fair shout... I didn't look at it that way.. Some escape!
