    What is your list of the top 5. fighters with the best killer instinct. When an opponent is hurt, which fighters are utterly ruthless in putting a fighter away.

    Dempsey
    Marciano
    Tyson
    Duran
    Chavez

    I feel Duran might not be deserving but don't have a better more suiting fighter in mind at the moment. Seems hard splitting relentless and killer instinct, although there's a definite difference I have trouble separating the two through a list.

    Robinson
    Louis
    Ike Williams when the fix wasn't on
    Moore
    Olivares
    Honourable mention to Khaosai Galaxy

    It should be noted that there are probably more deserving names than Galaxy (given the overall level of his competition), but I just wanted to mention him. Crude, divisive and unorthodox he may have been, but when he had you going, you were gone.

    Jack Dempsey & Tyson would be the first to spring to mind for me certainly - I'll come back to you with another 3 when I've had time to think
