    This guy is maybe the closest to Tyson style invincibility boxing today. Devastating KO at the lower weight and proved he can go the distance and take and give a beating. I would not like to be approaching mandatory against this guy unless I had total belief in myself (Holyfield v Tyson level belief). Love the 'Monster' tag too.

    I'm glad Chris Eubank is mentioned. Wasn't sure if he would be. I was ready to do the job. :p

    Eubank definitely had something but he always looked beatable and had some lacklustre performances (amongst some very good clean KO's) often against weak opponents. His marquee wins were are not all definitive, he made very hard work of it sometimes. True warrior though and he was 40+ unbeaten at one point.
