    I'm shocked to see Joe Louis on these lists. He was an offensive dynamo, no doubt, but defensively he was not great. At all.

    Was kind of surprised I was the first mention of Holyfield, top tier defense and counters, inclination to brawl with the skills to back it up, not quite Frazier level on the inside but arguably the best of the 90's lot, out-bullied Tyson

    Very glad that Puritty is getting a mention here. He's a very underrated fighter amongst the ATGs.

    Not sure about Holyfield here since he could be a bit too gun-shy sometimes in terms of aggression and defensively could become a bit too much irresponsible for my taste
