    I'm not really talking about the ones that beat him, Buster, Holyfield, Lennox etc. But the ones that lost but didn't go in showing fear, anxiety whatever you want to call it.
    Watching the Berbick fight today got me thinking about this.

    Berbick really didn't show any nerves. He went in there throwing leather back, he looked like he was trying to over power him.
    True, he got ktfo lol, but still, to me he showed that no fear attitude.

    Great list matey. Ribalta stands out imo, when I saw the fight, how he kept climbing up and hitting back. He had heart.

    Tillis too. He surprised a lot of people there. Tyson said his stomach hurt like hell after.

    Ruddock really took the fight to him and was eager for the rematch.

    Yeah he did hes part of that famous sequence, where to his credit he threw dozen punches in a row. But missed every single one them, then Tyson floors him with one counter punch.

    Beautiful sequence of defence right there, I miss the Heavyweights of the past.
