    Any fighter in between those 2 come to mine JG?

    I guess Ali always fits into this category

    Paul Pender - The charismatic rugged brawler. A sort of Boston-version of Roberto Duran.

    I found Tyson charismatic, before he turned into a thug surrounded by thugs.

    Found Ali ( met him as Clay ) charismatic, not thrilling.

    For charisma AND thrills, Rocky Graziano
    For unadulterated action and thrills, Beau Jack

    What about Rocky Marciano, he seemed a great guy.

    Couldn't agree more about, Rocky, b. He was my rabbi at Stillman's 'n an adrenaline rush for every N.Y fight fan.

    I wondered what that noise was.

    Old Paul would struggle to set petrol alight with his excitement.

    :lol::lol:

    Musta been an exciting sort of paint you was using. To be fair to Paul, the Downes fights were pretty good.
