    I have opened this thread and scrolled to quick reply without seeing anyones post. I seen "I am Legend" was the last poster. I would put a million dollars on him saying Tyson. Lets see if im right.

    Interesting that when someone makes a judgement who has been in with guys in the ring he is confusing things according to you when it doesn't suit your argument. But the guy who claimed Shavers hit harder than Foreman and Lyle together wasn't confused, right?

    p.s. yes i will keep bitching about stuff like this forever. :p

    Patterson, Ali, Jones were all very quick.

    I'd go with Floyd Patter

    I'm going for Ali, and truth be told i hardly consider Patterson. Why you say? The man weighed just 182 1/2 when winning the title. Against Liston he came in at about 189 and 194, Ingemar 182, 190 and 195'ish in 3 consecutive fights. I barely consider him a TRUE heavyweight regardless of achievements. Same with Jones obviously.

    I feel "Holmes Jab" was a mite slow getting here.
