I wonder how Vaughn Bean got the title shots that he did. He never beat a single worthy opponent during his career.
I would not describe him as superhuman but Holyfield sure could put the punches together. Counter-punching suited him better against bigger men...
I would say that Tunney was as fast as a prime Dempsey.
I've slowed down a lot of old films that were running too fast. Nowadays I can slow them down to normal speed though.

I agree but it's somewhat impressive for a 50+ year old man, and we know the man was fast in his prime. Then again you look at 41 year old...
If only Bowe had fought Ruddock. Tyson landed a huge right hand but Golota actually recovered well from it. I'd say he was more hurt against Bowe...

I will credit him for being a decent boxer for a big slob. Rightfully he won't be remembered as anything more than a guy who was somehow given a...
