    All three were looked at as indestructible, no doubt there. Foreman had insane power, like not natural almost for a man of his size, though he was bigger than most back then. How many of you have seen a fighter hit a heavy bag, about a 100lb one, and when they walk away the whole side of it is crushed in, like a crater on the bag. However, tyson was scary as hell too and had similar power but with more speed, defense, and pure ferociousness. But my vote is with Mr. Unstoppable himself, Roy Jones. He was a huge Icon as well, and had the most abality. He's the one that you would look at and know you would not only get knocked out, but you would never be able to hit him and he would keep blistering you with punches. He saw things before they happened in the ring, and had extraordinary speed in his hands, feet, and upper body.

    a big reason why in my personal all time p4p list roy is very very high is because in his prime "pazienza fight" he realy looked unbeatable, more than anybody ever, aside from a few other like sugar ray....

    Among the 3 in retrospect, it is/should have been Foreman.

    Please remember that people where afraid for Ali's life..... Muhammad Ali.


    I repeat, people where afraid for Muhammad Ali. So when you are thinking "unstoppable" - ask yourself - against whom?

    I still say that if RJJ didn't do his ******ed weight cut, he would still be the MAN! What would of happened if he stayed at heavy weight and fought Holyfield, ha maybe would of beat Holyfield.

    Foreman was considered a Listonesque figure in the early 70's...big, strong and scary as hell but Tyson and RJJ were men amongst boys at their peaks.

    Tyson won more than half of his first 20 fights with 1st round ko.

    RJJ. Tyson was showing holes in his game as soon as he became super famous. Foreman seemed pretty invincible, but RJJ, at his best, you just couldn't even imagine him losing or even taking serious shots, he was just heads and shoulders above the competition. The best there ever was at the weight, and he didn't rely on brute power to achieve that.

    Roy Jones Jr. When he was number 1 p4p people were thinking he was the greatest fighter to ever live.
