    Mike would be a good one, I was thinking about it myself.....but then I've still got 3 (or is it 4 now?) pending.....Reid should get done tomorrow.

    I'm looking forward to Reid.

    Do you wanna do Tyson? I'll happily step aside if you want to do the entry, but if your plate is full, I'll gladly take the mantle as my Tyson knowledge peaks :good

    You're literally the only person in the World who thinks Jersey Joe Walcott is greater than Tyson, and there's a reason for that. You're really underrating Mikes era and totally forgetting that Walcott wasn't even the best of his.

    Seriously mate, seriously: way off base.

    Tucker put a decent shift in. The uppercut in the first that 'staggered' Mike was great. Pity Tony couldn't keep it up, but he was fighting Mike Tyson :yep

    Yep, and it made for a decent fight. I don't know if you've seen the HBO broadcast of the fight (might be the only one) but I felt they really overrated Tuckers effectiveness in that fight, particularly Ray Leonard, who wad harking on as if Tucker had just schooled Mike. I gave TNT 2 rounds personally.

    I gave him 3, but he did well not to get destroyed whilst still giving a better effort than say, Bonecrusher.

    I know. Shame, in general, when he let his hands go he was a beast (see: Bruno). But, like so many others, terrified.

    Yeah? I've only ever seen the Tyson fight, and it didn't exactly inspire me to watch more of Bonecrusher :yep

    First fight that really showed Bruno's deficiencies but nonetheless, wild and savage stuff. Obviously he knew that he'd sparked if he'd done it, but I'd prefer him to go out on his shield then....well, hug :-(
