        These three are definetely deserving to be on the list.

        But you need to add Anthony Mundine. This guy has ****loads of talent and ability. But in his last fight he has fought Nievas, Clavero and Hamden. The guy is just fighting bums. But he has the goods to take his game and be more than competitive on the big big stage.

        Put him in the poll please.

          I went with Zab....because TYson did have his time and will always be remembered.Golota was good but not good enough for me to feel bad for his ignorance.Judah could have been "great" if you ask me.Just didn't have it upstairs.

            Zab takes it. He still has all the physical assets to be a beast - he's fast, skilled and has pop in his punch. He just can't stay mentally focused, though, and for a man like him to have a showing like the Baldomir fight is just inexcusable. Tyson could have been more but he sure was something while he lasted. He got the credit and fame. Golata..is..well...Golata.

              Tyson, he was great be could've been the greatest.

              Bowe, awsome physical attributes and talent but was lazy and unmotivated.

              Corrie Sanders, showed what he could do when he was in shape and prepared against Wlad klitschko. Overate and undertrained, could've been a real force at heavyweight if he had any stamina and conditioning.

              Oliver McCall, iron chin and good power. the drug and mental issues no doubt had a negative affect on his career especially in the second lewis fight (if he had won that fight he'd be legendary)

                I went with Golota. Tyson was affected by other circumstances. Zab, was good, but still over rated by a lot of you.

                With Golota, i have never seen a guy constantly winning a fight, and then throwing it away with a brain explosion and getting DQ'D late lol.

                But all three have a lot of merit to be on the list.

                  Zab, just because he had the talent to be the top guy. I think he had the best chance of beating Floyd out of anyone Floyd will ever fight. But for whatever reason Zab cant get his head in the game. He could have went down as a real great with all the talent he has imo.

                    Because he never won a title or even got to make some good paydays.

                    Tyson was a champ and made huge money

                    Zab has won titles in two divisions and has made some good paydays

                    Golota shoulden't even be on the list, Corey"T Rex" Sanders was giving him hell. Andrew was a quiter, he quit in all his big fights.

                    Ike never really got any paydays and was one of the top contenders after knocking out Byrd, who himself went on to win a title and make some good money.

                    Ike is the perfect Example of "What could have been"

                      I picked Zab, but you have a good point right there.
