    Some of Flynn's name don't measure up to what I would consider big time "names" in the sport. For me Holyfield

    Tyson 2x
    Lewis 2x
    Bowe 3x
    Moorer 2x
    Foreman
    Holmes
    Douglas
    Byrd
    Toney
    Rahman

    Pretty impressive

    Flynn is interesting I think if I remember right Johnny risko has quite a few names

    I know its been said but it has to be holy field for me .The time he spent at the top and the big names he faced ,is amazing to me. And to think he started out at CW .
    When he lost to Bowe the first time he spoke of retiring ,and yet he was still there fighting the top names a decade later .

    OP Mcvey, Do you mean 'top 100 names'? Or 'names we all know'?

    Holyfield
    Tyson
