    What examples throughout history can you remember when two of the biggest hitters in the division faced off against one another and against all odds, it would go the distance.

    At the moment I can only think of Donovan Ruddock vs Mike Tyson II

    A recent one

    Enzo Maccarinelli vs Wayne Braithwaite

    Both were big punchers and had shaky chins.

    Tommy Gomez-Bob Satterfield

    (and they didn't have top chins)

    *I should have read the thread first--I see SQ has this one above. It is interesting that neither were all that durable but it went all the way.
