    Seriously, how the hell do you even beat an iron-chinned Tommy Hearns/Wlad or a prime Foreman with a proper gas tank lmao?
    Bonus: Steel-jaw Lorenzo Zanon :lol:

    Greb with footage.
    Ali with greater body punching and consistent uppercut and hook punches with good form.
    Tyson with discipline and a great inside fighting game, rather than getting tied up, standing square and able to tee off on.
    RJJ with better adaptation to loss of speed and punch resistance.
    Amir Khan with solid whiskers and better fundamentals to resist the heat of war.
    Toney without the fork.

    Duran if he was a dude who hates parties and doesn't like stuffing his tummy too much.

    Another,a Benitez who actually started a bit later but not too old,plus him actually studying boxing like a good gym schoolboy instead of going to the parties.

    If Curry wasn't so unstable he might be undefeated too.

    Then most old school fighters could've possibly be undefeated if they fought on a modern schedule,one year this dude,two years more this another dude...

    OK, so Floyd was unbeaten...but imagine Mayweather with one punch fight ending power...

    Hi Guys.
    If Mando Ramos was to have been adopted by monks in his early teens, he would have been up there with the Durans, Williams, Gans, etc, .

    I think Ali would still beat Foreman in Zaire if Foreman had excellent gas tank. Ali was schooling him that night

    Give Thomas Hearns a granite chin or Pernell Whitaker one punch KO and they’d be close to unbeatable.

    Mike Tyson- If Iron Mike had had an Iron Will, no one touches him.
