    BAM- That's it, comgratulations, you have found the winnin formula. I'll pick Locche's upper body-movement, i feel his may be the best ever, whereas Pep's was great, i credit him an awful lot for footwork, of which Robinson was greatly gifted with anyways

    Tyson getting beaten by Douglas had nothing to do with a lack of heart.

    I think not training for his fights has something to do with lack of dedication. (I'm not a Tyson hater by the way.)

    I think dedication/training habits are different than heart.

    I mean, Riddick Bowe showed a ton of heart in his fights, especially the rematch with Andrew Golota, but he lacked dedication.

    I have yet to see James Toney show a lack of guts in the ring. Dedication, however, is another story.

    Tyson bailed out in the second Holyfield fight because he didn't want to be KO'd again. Now that's a lack of heart.

    Yeah, but I was talking about the Douglas loss. It wasn't heart, it was Tyson's lack of adjustment ability. Even if Tyson had better training habits and heart in the ring, I think eventually he would've lost anyway.

    I don't believe in fighters being "unbeatable".

    Hearns was a very solid in-fighter, well enough to do a bit there and be able to get himself back to range, not a 'pro' at in-fighting, but good enough. He had one of the best well rounded skillsets ever, a good defence also, so an iron chin would really make you think that he wouldn't have lost in the 80's but to maybe Hagler, in which I agree with your assessment that Hagler could have got him even with the chin enhancement.

    With Lopez, it's like many other top boxers, give them true 1 punch KO power and the timing and accuracy see's some crushing KO's, with the skills to back up the rest.:good
