          I don't know if you can do it after the fact... but you've got to make polls like this visible so we can see the names of the experts who've voted for Tyson!

          (full disclosure: I voted for Shavers)

            Ali and Holmes are not among the elite in the HW power punching ranks. They both had respectable KO records, but they were primerily "boxers" rather than sluggers.

                  I beg to differ... I find that voter turn-out is vastly increased when the privicy of the voting booth is maintained.

                  Incidentally, I'm one of those "experts" who voted for Tyson... Feel free to take issue with me.
