    Pass for Jefferies. Probably Ketchel for Johnson
    Firpo.
    Walcott 1
    Idk, Williams, Machen or Ali 1.

    His beatdowns of Patterson are some explosive showings of power
    Holyfield, Rumble, Moorer or Lyle. I'd pick Lyle by a distance if I'm honest
    Norton, Shavers 2 or Witherspoon.
    Briggs, Mercer or Vitali
    I do enjoy watching him smash guys like Botha and Grant.

    For technical performances Holyfield 1, Tua and Mavrovic are all good.
    Douglas. And it's not even close.

    Good post George lad as per . Marciano for me , it's always Walcott . And that's because Jersey really puts on a fight of his life .All The years he spent struggling and finally got the belt . He wasn't going to give it up easy !
