    I'm going Tyson.

    sometimes Ali went into the RJJ "I'll just toy with my opponents" mode. Tyson genuinely looked like he wanted to kill people in the ring.

    Since i'm not a fan of shoeshining till someone gets really tired and then deciding to put a little mustard on them, i'll go for Tyson. Although I'll say that Ali was pretty good at shoeshining. The grand master of slaps.

    Why you have Ali that far ahead, then?

    I have him as much ahead of Tyson as I have Holmes over Louis in that regard. :thumbsup I hope you do that thread too. :D

    Seriously, this is close.

    The ones Tyson had hurt and couldn't finish off was Tillis and Ruddock (rematch). For Ali (as I can recall) it was Terrell and MacFoster, with Shavers being a borderline case.

    And they both finished off fighters that no one else finished.
