    Diaz- Irwin. I guess iron Mike Tyson was reincarnated as a feather fisted dynamo of a whirlwind. Diaz baby bull, a good kid but a very bad person to face in the ring.

    Aaron Pryor in most of his fights, but particularly against Arguello.

    Ricky Hatton when he beat Kostya Tzsyu.

    No love for Henry Armstrong yet? His opponents thought he was murder!

    Absolutely...ROTC Frazier exemplifies the term, "force of nature" along with Tyson, Liston and Fighting Harada.

    Only one I can think of would be Rocky Marciano. Like he did to Walcott in '53.
