The man gave hope to all retirees that had dreams of winning a string of boxing matches. Sure, the prerequisite is that you are retiring as one of the best in the sport.
He returned to the ring in 1987 and sort of meandered around like Bald Bull pummeling any boxer that stood in his way.
He went 31-3 after his return, and 26 of those wins were by knockout. I, of course, have to give him mad dope props for the Foreman Grill, which is how I eat everything...everything.
