    Mitch Green took a hell of a pounding from Tyson. I think that fight may come off as less brutal than it was because Mitch truly had a cement head and chin and besides fighting a negative fight with lots of holding (Which Green did all the time anyway, he would "switch off" in fights at times) never really seemed in trouble against Tyson.

    In order it would probably go something like this:

    Razor Ruddock
    Pinklon Thomas
    Tyrell Biggs
    Jesse Ferguson
    Michael Jack Johnson
    Jose Ribalta
    Andrew Golota
    Marvis Frazier
    Mitch Green
    Frank Bruno

    I still wince when I remember how Holmes went down, with his leg all twisted underneath him... hard to watch Larry get pasted like that.

    Lol Both Lewis and Tyson were united in their joint hatred for Biggs, apparently Tyson and Lewis ran into each other when the Lewis-Biggs fight was scheduled and Tyson advised Lewis to bang Biggs in the ribs.

    Ruddock took alot of punishment but IMO the guy he hurt the worst was Biggs....that was a surgical beating in which Tyson extended it as long as Biggs could take it....Ruddock at least was strong enough to fight back and hurt Mike but Biggs wasn't

    Thomas was fine in rounds 2-5. Frazier and johnson just had 1 bad concussion, similar to slipping and hitting your head. Golotas face did look in pretty bad shape in the post fight interview considering he only went 2 rounds. Green and ribalta took real prolonged beatings, ribalta was completely pulverized and legless by the end of that fight. Green had an iron skull, he was only stopped once in his career and that was when he pulked a McCall and quit fighting because he felt he wasnt being paid enough.

    Ribalta

    That fight ruined his legs not just for that fight but forever more. Watch his later fights - he is walking in post holes,

    Tyson pulled his punches against Biggs.

    Tyson gave Ruddock damaged ribs and a broken jaw with actually trying to end the fight.

    Green took on a team of S.W.A.T when they raided an apt In Harlem in the early 2000's . They had to use tear gas and took several guys to take him down , he was on heroin , crack...whatever.

    I know this BC the guy who told me was on that swat team and said Green was a huge mofo throwing them all around , they had to beat him with clubs and pepper spray.

    I believe Tyson would have knocked him out more than not. That was also a 10 round fight.

    I guess the street fight they had ended any debate if Tyson could finish him off....lol

    Ribalta. If you never saw it, Vitali's ko of the guy was brutal. Boxing needs the Ribalta's of the world & guys like that really earn their paychecks.

    The famous uppercut Tyson landed on Ribalta is the most powerful looking punch I've ever seen ... And Ribalta just hops back up after it Lol

    He did pull his punches to prolong the pain he intentionally punished Biggs over a personal thing his damage was physical and psychological and his career he wanted to hurt Biggs forever after the physical pain was gone...Biggs was not as tough as Ruddock......Ruddock took alot of punishment but he dished it out as well...he had a fighting chance
