    Jack is the biggest Klit hater on this site, he is on my ignore list, thats why his ranking looks so incredible dumb, bowe A in power and speed, joke of the week:rofl

    Wladimir is definetely the bigger puncher in comparision to lewis, tyson and so on.

    Wladimir, foreman, shavers are the highest level of power
    second level goes with lewis, tyson
    bowe was not even a real big puncher

    Cheers, mate :good

    Yeah, I think prime Tyson had exceptional ring IQ. At that point, he was a student of the game and it showed in his performances. He wasn't just hard hitting and fast, he was also a brilliant boxer who had a great mind for the sport too.

    That version of Tyson may not have beaten Ali, prime Holmes, Foreman etc., but I think he may have been the closest to a 'perfect' heavyweight as there ever has been. He had an all-round game that nobody could match before or since his reign.

    Unfortunately, his IQ and mentality out of the ring was poor.

    You won't read this and I'm not bothered that you don't. You're an awful poster, who is completely ignorant, but for anyone else who is interested, watch Bowe in his true prime. Watch how his power against Holyfield or Gonzalez. He had a lot of power.

    Better yet, listen to what Eddie Futch said about Bowe. If my opinion isn't worth anything, that's fine. My opinion coincides with the greatest trainer of all-time though, so read his opinions instead.

    The OP left out heart, which is one of Haye's huge failings. Chisora, with all his weaknesses, sort of makes up for them with a huge heart.

    This was beautiful, but this was a perfectly timed counter punch, Botha did not even see it coming, Mike just knew how to fight, Wlad's opponents on the other hand see the punches coming but Wlad still land them through the block. Wlad is stronger than Mike. However strength alone does not win fights.
    Nice video, I like how Mike is preventing Botha from falling at the end.
