    Who comes to mind?

    For instance, when it comes to boxing, that's Thomas Hearns game. Can anyone beat him when it comes to that?

    How about Mike Tyson, a brawl, can anyone win the battle of the brawl?

    Discuss. :thumbsup

    Sonny Liston could do it all. He could box when you wanted to bix, brawl when you wanted to brawl. He was a complete fighter.:good

    Willie Pastrano for defeating the great Harold Johnson, though narrowly at his game.

    Foreman I'm 50/50 though I lean toward Tyson's superior handspeed shorter punches.

    Dempsey has little chance. If any at all.

    Louis would have the best shot provided his chin holds up.

    Terrell beat Ali during the pre-fight mind games, an area where Ali supposedly excelled. In the ring, of course, he didn't have the competence to take advantage of it, and a beating ensued.

    Bonavena did likewise.
    He rattled Ali by repeatedly referring to him as "Clay,Clay" in broken English leaving the so called master of mind games struggling for an adequate response.

    Again,even though he struggled, Ali took care of matters in the ring.
