    Fraudley but he won gold as someone stated so fair enough...

    Right i will go with Lacy the so called Mini-Mike Tyson, but its not hype if its true and he CAN rip ya head off, but Joe just didnt let him and after that boxing lesson 101 he will never be the same again.....

    Erm...i keep talking myself out of each choice.....****......Erm

    Ok will i go with Leon Spinks and keep my mouth shut !!!!!!!!! :lol:

    it would be ok for me, but the way he was defeated, that round 10. He rush in with his guard down and throw such a wild punch. I don't know wtf he was thinking or perhaps he was not thinking

    Ever is a long time so I'll use recent history, definitely Howard Davis Jr. Remeber, coming out the Olympics that year he was the guy everyone was raving about, he even won most outstanding boxer. Mark Breland also even though he did win a title he fell far short of expectations. You could throw Tony Ayala in there too more for the legal problems rather than ring accomplishments.

    Yes, I remember that real well but the hype wasn't as big as it was surrounded the rest, ESPECIALLY A-Farce because of his gold medal.

    And then gone on to school Naz more convincingly than MAB did

    Tough choice Paddy - I can't split EM and MAB at all.

    Both would have beaten any version of Naz, never mind the less focused one that appeared at the MGM Grand.
