    Probably Jersey Joe Walcott sometime it looks like was floating his movement was totally unique. There was a newsreel footage of him sparring prior to his final bout and it serious looked like a hovered for a moment ridiculous. After him Napoles is a great choice although maybe Ike Williams just a killer with speed, power and that destroy switch.

    Prime Ray Leonard or Prime Ali. But fighters were tough as nails once an opponent got past the flash. And If the opponent didn't get past the flash... .. See Cleveland Williams or Dave Green.

    Harry Greb or Slapsie Maxie, Lotta punches, quick movement I don’t ever try to hit to hard because it wastes energy, I personally think more of a message can be sent by utter domination over 15 rounds vs a 1st round ko

    Wayne McCullough

    Met him in the park one night back in 1998. He was with his wife and some other fella. We were all being stupid teenagers and somebody went Biff from back to the future and called him chicken for not fighting Morales yet. The guy was stupid, no doubt. Then Wayne's better half starts mouthing off and Wayne is looking to find out who shouted it. We didn't give them up. It wasn't me. Then they went on their way and that was that. Can't really say he was in the wrong or anything. But I would like to settle the score now. :p
