    What are some fighters you feel who could go toe to toe with someone or have some power to stop a fighter but has also shown some great defensive skillls. The first that comes to mind for me would be the likes of a Roberto Duran

    I agree with Toney especially at middleweight where he showed some knockout power

    No love for Tommy Hearns? Great puncher, could box and was exceptionally hard to hit when he wanted to be.
