    Nah, in every fight people are giving Floyd's opponent a chance to win. When Mike was fighting no one gave those guys a chance. It's only after Floyd wins does the talk come of the guy never had a chance.

    I disagree with you on RJJ. people always talked **** on him and said that he was ducking the guys that could beat him and carefully picking his fights. He did not have the Aura that Tyson did. I can't remember any fighter ever having that Aura.

    tyson's aura of invincibility was in a class all it's own...i'll agree.

    roys was a distant second...

    chavez was a distant third...

    i don't think floyds registers in the top 50.

    Chavez was constantly getting outclassed in his fights it was just his ability to outlast his opponents that helped him

    I wouldn't say so. Floyd style is nowhere near as devastating as those guys

    Disgraceful *******. Aura doesn't mean he is invincible just that people have this sense that he can't be beaten. Look at the Cotto fight people were having strokes on ESB because Floyd didn't win every round.

    Tyson's aura just wouldn't end. I swear even after the Lewis fight people still thought he could ko anyone

    it's stronger than chavez's. roy and mike's though? nah. roy was once thought to be able to move up to heavyweight and beat most, if not all top fighters in that weight division, as a light heavyweight, whereas many people think guys like martinez and others at 160 would defeat floyd. no one's aura of invincibility was as supernatural as that of an undefeated, baddest heavyweight and man on the planet version of mike tyson, absolutely no one in the history of boxing. the only man who comes close is sonny liston in his prime.

    Many people thought that Tyson was the best heavyweight of all-time. Many people thought Roy Jones was the best head-to-head fighter of all-time.
