    Gene Tunney.....STILL the most underappreciated and underestimated heavyweight champion of all time.

    Sonny Liston, Looking back at some of his early fights people forget how skillful he was.

    Holmes, Patterson, Tunney, Johnson, Charles, Prime Tyson, Michael Spinks.

    Several surprise names: Tucker, Douglas, Bowe.

    Tony 'TNT' Tucker was an outstanding boxer who was big, fast, had an excellent chin and a great jab.

    Buster Douglas -- Sadly, we didn't get to see the best James 'Buster' Douglas very much. But his skill level and speed were terrific. Very light on his feet for such a large man.

    Bowe -- Had all the punches, was a great infighter, was fast, threw combinations, etc. Again, didn't get to see his best for very long.


    Wlad is an extremely skilled offensive fighter. His defense and footwork aren't the best, however.
