This come back took some time it was a career "comeback"!
Willie Pep at age 25 was 109W--1L--1D he won 62 in a row and beat the incredible Chalky Wright to win the title at 20 YEARS OLD!
He chartered a plane that crashed and he suffered a broken back, leg and multiple breaks and fractures of the chest.
He spent 5 months in a body cast and was told his chances of walking were going to be slim! Once the casts were removed Pep began rehab and started back in his career by winning 26 straight that actually extended a 73 unbeaten streak that surpassed his 62 wins in a row! At one point he barnstormed 7 wins in 66 days!
Willie Pep ATG HoF record 229 wins--11 losses--1 draw.
Seriously Marciano, Calzaghe, Mayweather you call their streaks great? Their records pale in comparison to one of the greatest
"comebacks" in sports history!

Brian Sutherland when he came back against life
After he lost to a juiced Kenny Rainford, he coulda hit rock bottom. Instead he stared the odds in the face and went on to not only reclaim his job at Dominoes -- he went on to become manager just 8 years later.
