He did have heart and a good chin. The left-handed smash he takes frrom Ruddock in the 10th round of their 2nd fight is just incredible.
I don't think so. I think he was scared and took quite a few minutes for him to look at Tyson. He was caught on the ropes by a perfect left...
Good one. Where would you put Lewis, Morrison and Frazier ?
Foreman broke Dave Jaco's back with one punch. My Ranking: 1- Rocky Marciano (1950-1953) 2- George Foreman 3- Max Baer 4- Earnie Shavers 5- Sonny...

Muhammad Ali - 6' 3 ½'' Jack Johnson - 6' 1'' Jack Dempsey - 6' 0 ½'' Joe Frazier - 5' 11 ½'' Rocky Marciano - 5' 10 ½'' Mike Tyson - 5' 10''
Max Baer and Rocky Marciano both punched like hell, but who wins the pushing contest ?
Muhammad Ali - 6' 3 ½'' Jack Dempsey - 6' 0 ½'' Rocky Marciano - 5' 10 ½'' Mike Tyson - 5' 10'' Joe Frazier - 5' 11 ½''
