    George Foreman once said that his fight with Lyle was unique in that it was the only battle of punchers, he did put in a good wood for Liston and Cleveland Williams. but who els?

    Frazier was a great puncher, but I would classify him as a pressure fighter. I guess I should have defined puncher. I meant guys like Foreman who would try to bomb you out near the beginning.

    Brewster--Klitschko fights have not been mentioned. Coetzee--Knoetze another, although it went the distance. Shavers--Mercado is another. Ruddock--Smith. Briggs--Vitali.

    Most of the ones I would have mentioned have already been named. I'm going to add Sonny Liston vs Leotis Martin. Martin was a smallish heavyweight but he could certainly bang. Poor guys earned a shot at Frazier but couldn't take the fight due to a detached retina. It would have been a good pay day for him.
