BILLINGSGATE POST: Until Donald Trump went down and rose back up again after taking a shot in the ear at his rally last week, there was absolutely no doubt that the greatest comeback since time memorial occurred in the confines of Yankee Stadium in front of 80,000 screaming fans in September 1923.
Over 100 years have passed since Luis Angel Firpo, the Wild Bull of the Pampas, knocked Heavy Weight Champ, Jack Dempsey, out of the ring in the first round of their epic fight, only to be knocked out by Dempsey in round two.
Some say that without the help of the friendly sportswriters who helped Dempsey back in the ring, the fight would have ended there and then.
Also In The Running:
* In 1814, Napoleon was forced to abdicate and exiled to the Mediterranean island of Elba. In 1815, he escaped from Elba and again took control of France.
* Sixty-year-old, Rocky Balboa, defeats Mason “The Line” Dixon in a 10 rounder, ending with both men still standing.
* Exodus 14: 19-31: Moses parts the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to cross safely from Egypt.
But there is no doubt who now holds the title of GCOAL (Greatest Comeback Of All Time). After Trump went down after taking a shot to the ear that nearly killed him, in front of the Stars and Stripes, rising up with his fist clenched, he implored his fans to “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!”
Dr. Slim: “Long live the King!”
Dirty: “Yo, Dr. Dude. Let his new reign begin.”
