I have to say Foreman.
Leonard was able to come back from a five year hiatus and beat one of the greatest 160's that ever lived, and then have a successful career afterwards, but Foreman was basically dead to the world for 10 years until he announced his comeback, to much derision, in 1987.
Seven years later, he did it. He stopped Michael Moorer in 10 rounds and became the oldest champ in ANY division.
Not only that, but he did something never done before in the history of SPORT.
He was able to reinvent himself and have a separate, second career, that was better than the first.
By doing that, he is, in my opinion, the second greatest heavyweight champ that ever lived.
