    Seriously. What couldn't he do? Box, brawl, slug, use his head, swarm, in-fighting, counter-punching, great chin, power, quick...everything. And what a brilliant gameplan against Tyson.

      Pretty much agree....

      but where's JMM and Erik Morales in the mix?

        Absolutely. Love(d) his heart man. You don't understand how big the parties used to be at my house when he fought. LOL. I'm talking HUGE parties.

        And honestly, his Tyson win was like the highlight of my youth as a boxing fan. I've NEVER been more happy. Our house was shaking from excitement! Wish we still got fights like that from the heavyweights now-a-days.

          You?? Man that revived my love for boxing! I just KNEW he was gonna whoop Tyson's behind. Begged my big brother's to put some cash on it. Then asked to borrow money so I could bet myself. I have never been that crazed watching a fight. NEVER. **** man, the memories. The gameplan, the drama, the action, the conclusion...

                damn man, considering your love for all things Klit, I'm surprised Vitali doesn't take every place in ur list.

                  btw I left out Hatton....erm think he could get in there above Vitali possibly, maybe even Finito but those are tough calls and Froch just barely gets kept out of he top 20. It's a real tough, I'll have to sit down and make a proper list one of these days.

                      Mine was just a quick shake out of what came to mind. I know it could get way, way more complicated. there were so many great fights and fighters in that huge time period. To be honest that's really too big of a span to make a rankings system on. It should ten years tops.
