    Gomez’s fight with Leonardo Cruz is a very good bout a showcase performance for “Bazooka” IMO it was stiff competition.

    I'm born in 1975 and during my lifetime Tyson by a real mile (10K) in terms of aura. RJJ might have been seen as just as unbeatable at his peak, but the ****ing aura Tyson had was insane. Him vs Bruno was the first fight I watched live on TV and his ring walk was the most electric moment I've ever had watching sport. It was like he was from another planet.

    Ali wasnt really intimidating but everyone who met him says that they felt something really special when they were with him.

    Agree about Liston.
    I just think Tyson was very similar but took it to another level.

    Maske.

    The man knew no fear except that in his opponents' eyes.
