    Tyson for sure. Best active fighters I'd go with Haye and Pavlik. Lots of KO's in the early parts of their bum fights.

    Juanma hasn't really seen anything past 6 rounds...it ends within 3 rounds typically :good:bbb

    Tyson was always a crusher

    Haye, Williams, and Arreola are all good at finishing fights within 5 if not 3

    I know he was just a freakshow but surely Butterbean deserves a mention in this thread too?

    Bollocks. Bruno's run to a title shot against Witherspoon was easier than Tysons route to the top, and so was VITLAYS run to the title too. When he won the WBO off Hide he'd fought no-one, and he'd still fought no-one when he got a shot against Lewis, apart from Byrd who he lost to.

    Calslappy qualifies here too by the way, Eubank was the first live opponent he faced, and he was only barely 'live'.

    Thinking about it this accusation could be levelled at most modern fighters, a more interesting thread would be "who had the hardest route to the title?"

    Yup, I've felt this way for a long time. Fact of the matter is MOST resumes post 1960 are ****. There's just no two ways around it.

    Nino La Rocca

    He was a black Italian with lighting fast hands...I mean lightning fast.
    Sugar Ray Leonard....Camacho...Gayweather were a blurr in comparison.

    He had on paper an impressive record ( mostly in Europe ) then he fought
    the " Cobra " Curry.

    Needles to say Curry knocked him out..
