even way past prime Holyfield still has so much better footwork and ring movement than young Ruiz, he gets some lead rights in, he clinches at one point and then later feigns a similar clinch movement and comes up with a left hook

I have Tyson winning the first 5 and Tillis winning the last 5. The 4th round being Tyson's best. Id be tempted to call it draw except Tyson got the 4th 10/8. This was the first fight where Tyson had real competition. Tillis had some health issues that only got sorted out before this fight that made him inconsistant throughout his career or he may have been a top contender and he fought some big names . He was trained by Archie moore and Angelo Dundee during some of his career. He said Ernie Shavers hit him so hard it was like getting kicked by a horse only only on his chin,he said in the ring Ernie was the baddest man that ever lived and among the heavyweights many agree.

Best ever? Tyson, in his prime, that dude was just scary. His uppercuts seemed to have so much power he would practically levitate for a second.

Current? Ennis from Philly is nasty. He is insanely fast and seems to move super well. I think his career will be a wild one to watch.

When he knocked out Spinks in 88. Many top boxers thought it wouldnt happen. It wasnt even close. But im no expert, i just loved watching him box. I felt like he was superhuman. I never saw anything like it personally. Having read some of your responses earlier in the thread, i know your stance on this. Id love to see footage of who you find more impressive.
