    He gave Ike hell and blasted out Ruiz, can't count him out imo.

    He was never stopped in the ring and only floored once when old and on the comeback trail. His chin is granite and his power is almost as good as anyone’s

    Too small but I always thought Qawi v Tyson would have been an absolute war whilst it lasted...

    Earnie Terrell maybe? But on the other hand, he could end up like Berbick.
