I'm not judging Duran as a fighter, I'm just using one fight of his in which he was brutally knocked out as an example of a one punch knockout.
you brought up Ali as an example first. You even threw Willie Pep in for good measure. You were discounting Tyson's quickness and elusiveness, and...
My responses were directed at many of the responses on this topic so far. There are so many of them; when I respond, I try to cover as many as...
The Hearns/Duran anaology was used as an example of a concussive knockout from a single blow - something that was unlikely ever to happen to...

I don't think Holyfield had the tools to beat Tyson the way Buster did. And I think Buster would have beaten Holyfield if he had trained the way...
I don't think Tyson gets as much credit for the Ruddock fights as he should. As you indicated, Ruddock was the clear #2 contender; he was big,...
