    ok so the obivious choice is going to be Mike Tyson. so lets leave him out of the discussion. this isn't a who's the greatest flop thread or a HE just got Exposed thread. but just name a fighter besides Iron MIke the shined bright if even for a brief moment but you enjoyed the ride while it lasted. Even if just a fringe foot note in history a few come to mind right off the bat. Vargas,Meldric Taylor,Lacy,Hammed,Mayorga,. i loved watching these guy go at it when they were shining bright also Corrales,Frietas,Zab judah (not all his fights but the Millet,Tyszu,Rivera,Rangle,2nd Spinks fight ) plenty of more just kinda late help me out ESB.

    On a very low level.

    I have to say Ding, it was very fun to see one of ESB's regular posters, on television and actually be a force in the division plus he was exciting too while it lasted.

    Lyakhovich. They won't admit it now but I remember when some people were saying Lyakhovich could beat Wladimir. Look how fast time changes.
