100% agree--88 Tyson was savage--even Bowe wouldn't be able to withstand Mike's blitzkrieg early attack!
Another all time classic: "Every time he hit me he broke something." (Chuck Wepner describing his fight with Sonny Liston.)
Once again have to pay tribute to my all-time favorite fighter: "Smokin" Joe Frazier. I don't think any fighter alive ever had more heart than...

SPOT-ON when you state that "Ali was just made of something different." Isn't that true of all the legends in ANY endeavor?? They have an...
