    I would like to see the pre-champ mike tyson return, and here's

    why: In tyson's first two years of being a professional he fought

    at least once a month and knocked out all of his oppenents. Thats

    the mike tyson we need now; tyson who is hungry, angry, and is

    in tip top fighting condition because he is constantly honing

    his skills by fighting frequently. Why can't tyson at least

    fight 3 times a year. He certainly needs the money and

    practice!

      Ray Robinson without a doubt, just to see the man in action. He'd just be awesome!! That, or a prime Ali...damn that'd be good.

            Would McCline KO Louis?

              Would McCline KO Louis?

              Once McCline felt the power of one of Louis shots, he wouldn't want to be in the ring anymore. Joe's technique was so good it added power to his shots, if he laid the beating Schmeling got in the rematch on McCline, he'd never make it past the first round

                But how do we know this for sure?

                I think McCline can bench-press much more than Louis could.

                  Louis had more heart than McCline, he got up off the canvas to knock out Jimmy Braddock and win the title, McCline had Byrd on the canvas and couldn't finish him off, Louis is by far the superior technician, his jab and combinations are better than McCline's, Louis faced better opposition than McCline - all time greats, Max Schmeling, Max Baer, Braddock, Jersey Joe Walcott, and knocked them out

                    But this is an indirect comparison at best. Would Byrd beat Schmelling? We will never know for sure, right?

                      you're right, we'll never know for sure, but i suspect Byrd could beat a prime Max Schmeling, but not as brutally as Louis did. Byrd would probably have more trouble with Billy Conn, because he was a good boxer
