    Terrible Terry Norris

    some may laugh but think about it if there was anything Terry Norris was brilliant at it was opening up & combination punching he was fantastic on the front foot

      Yup Lewis, Hearns, Marcaiano, Foremon, Hagler etc...Too many to mention but I just went with pre Douglas Tyson cause I've never seen anything like a pre Douglas Tyson.

        Not really, Tyson chin was OK, Hearns chin wasn't that good, Pac chin is OK, Pavlik chin is not that great.

        If we count chin and defense, then there's only one prime James Toney.

          Mike Tyson chin was better than okay IMO

            Galslappy is also good, he does not have too much power but he really wins his fight with his offense.

              Meldrick Taylor deserves some consideration as well.

                If we're talking about offensive capabilities? Roy Jones Jr. Nobody can throw combos like him that have the speed and power that he packs. Screw defenses if Roy was one of those fighters with bad intentions all of his fights would have ended in knockouts and I'm 100% sure of that.

                  Best offensive, one at every weight

                  I'd say George Foreman wouldn't be a bad guess. After watching him fight the top three contenders in one night.Then watching him manhandle Joe Frazier, and winning the heavyweight title at almost 50. Then I would say Tyson who was the most dominant ever in a three year span.. And last of all props for Jack Johnson.. He hit pretty ****ing hard.

                    When you get knocked out by Douglas and Holyfield then I can't consider it great.

                    Tyson chin was good at best.

                      I'd go with Ali, although he wasn't the best defensively. Oscar in his prime was a thing of beauty to watch too.
