    Leonard, Tyson, Louis, Foreman, Robinson, Hagler, Ali, Foster, and Pryor are the ones who immediately come to mind.

    I forgot the great Brown Bomber. It's like forgetting my child at the store. Apologies to Joe who indeed was probably the greatest finisher of all time. Good see. I'M not infallible.
