    Chris Eubank the music the ring walk the jump over the rope posturing to the camera and crowd and also wandering around at the end of each round instead of back to his stool.

    210 pound men throwing their best overhand rights landing clean on the chin

    Fury gets up every time and fights back even harder

    Hurting Fury only makes him stronger. galvanizes him. Hot steel into cold water hardening.

    After Fury got up from both Wilder and Cunningham they both landed their best left hooks clean and Fury didn't even get moved even though he is supposed to be at his weakest as most men are when they get dropped.. He is iron.

    I am not sure that either Klitschko or Wilder really had it. Klitschko was a strong champion but in a weak era and Wilder was always seen as a hype job. Both looked very beatable against the right opponent.

    Youre right on both. I added Wioder in the list only because many (not me) told he was unstoppable. As to Klitschko he seemed invincible just because his opponents were not competitive during his reign. The same as to Vitali.

    As good as Vitali was I always felt he could loose to retirement for that reason I never saw him as invincible. Terrible resume to really.

    Canelo seems to have built up invincibility post Mayweather partly due to having corrupt judging to fall back on.

    Mike Tyson, James toney, Johnny tapia, maybe even Pacquiao for a bit. Not to mention Floyd for a while. And whenever Lennox had that eye of the tiger in him he was flawless. What about kassim ouma? He was supposed to be the best volume puncher ever.

    Quoted out of context. Canelo never was hyped up to have an aura of invicibility like GGG was. Jacobs dented GGG's aura of invincibility, Canelo shattered it!

    Floyd Mayweather for sure
    He had some questionable wins like against Castilo and Maidana. But he is pretty much flawless and unbeatable.
    Back in his days he was the man that everyone wanted to beat
    He wasn't menacing or intimidating like Tyson, but he was just so skilled that writers even publish articles about "cracking the Mayweather Da Vinci code"
