    It's Saad for me too, though I have soft spots for Conteh, Conn, Charles, Harold Johnson and Foster.

    I really like Ahumada and Yaqui Lopez from the great 70s era, brilliant perennial contenders both and amongst the best never to win the title. Fourie and Kates were tremendously skilled boxers too, Fourie was just undersized at 175 and Kates lacked the extra gear that would've made him great.

    Glen Johnson.

    Would fight anyone, was a busy try-hard, and it was funny the way his scalp wrinkled when he was surprised.

    I repeat Tunney was not a humble man, there are multiple quotes of him giving pseudo lectures to the press on the fight game and literature.Doesnt mean I dislike him as a fighter, shame such an athlete ended up a sot.

    Tunney ended up being a drunk??? Never knew that

    It's better than what happened to Charles at least
