What were some of boxing’s worst comebacks?

[Rockybigblower]

Anthony Mundine vs Jeep Horn.

[Tatabanya]

The additional decapitations Roy Jones Jr subjected himself to after being decapitated by Tarver and Glen Johnson.

Those knockouts vs Lebedev and Maccarinelli were truly scary, if you ask me.

- - Emphatically disagree. Buster fighting his way off his death bed after he blew up 400+ lb as his prediabetic prime >>> full blown diabetes.

He made major lifestyle changes to fight his way back into to boxing shape, 8-1, 5 KO and fringe contender status as a DIABETIC!!! Most of his opponents sported substantial winning records. Buster picked by Roy for his heavy debut, canceled after his Daddy nixed the fight. They picked John Ruiz instead.

Here is his proto Buster analog, the 400+ lb Buster Mathis who succumbed prematurely to death's fatal kiss, age 42. Douglas age 61 now, but diabetic treatments are massively improved today. My mom succumbed age 47 approximately 8 years after her diagnosis and she was still as trim as any teenage girl as did my brother at the same age. Diabetes is a wickedly vicious disease even with modern pharma and treatment plans, so I admire the F out everything Buster ever did in boxing, so anyone dismissing him gonna have to go thru moi!!!

I don't have diabetes, but it runs in the family.

I don't have diabetes, but it runs in the family.

That what I mean, did they have it since birth or was it acquired later on, like of my friends now have it but they are all overweight

- - As mentioned, diabetes is wickedly insidious to run the gamut of genetic, environmental, or combinations of both.

Don't know if newborns have been diagnosed as such, but the insidious nature in the modern structure might well make that possible. Sometimes healthy elderly suddenly acquire it out of nowhere. Buster was boxing against Doctor's orders because diabetics are more easily injured than normal folks and take much longer to recover, so dismissing his comeback where he only lost a single fight and made prime Roy skip out of their contract for John Ruiz shows just how formidable even a lesser Buster could be.

he was supposed to be an elite athlete, guess what, if you get morbidly obese in your early 30s then that doesnt make you a very great athlete.
