    There’s two big reasons why I’m voting for Jo Swinson.

    He was great to watch as a fighter, but name 3 great boxers he beat. In your own time.

    I liked the guy and like I said he was great to watch, but to say he was best of all time is mental. He got beaten by a 40/1 shot in a 2 horse race ffs

    He was stoned oot of his nut and had been pumping slappers the night before.

    He got gaped by King (and the Feds).

    Boy was a legend.

    Can't agree mate. Had his best days curtailed by a stinking jury decision.

    I have never seen foot movement, head movement and the ability to spark any c@nt out since him and indeed before him.

    Ferocious.

    I can certainly agree with "ferocious", but he was too ferocious, he wasn't smart enough. The sad thing is, a lot of the time, the best boxers are quite boring to watch.

    Honestly mate - he was as smart as they come.

    He always found a way despite being against way bigger opponents.

    Sussed out their style and adapted both his footwork and the angles he used to punch.

    Not smart enough to beat a 42/1 shot though

    Buster Douglas beat him, FACT. Name one decent boxer he beat in his first 20 odd fights? I'll grant you that he beat Spinks and Holmes, who were probably on their way out anyway, but he got schooled by Holyfield and Lewis. I am a Tyson fan, but to say he was be best "boxer" ever is mental.

    Ruddock, Mitch Green, Golota are names he beat and that's without me even thinking about it.

    Steamed ****lloads of contenders on his way up - normally in 1-3 rounds.

    Look - it's all about opinions.

    I have watched ****loads of boxing over my advancing years and I still have him as the best I have ever saw.

    Only one person for me comes close to perfection at HW and that is Lennox. Awesome jab - probably the best ever for a HW.

    I hope that Uysk fires up the current crop as he genuinely excites me but I fear he loses his overall game at HW.

    Yep, he did, but that was by pure explosive power, as soon as he came up against a half smart boxer that knew how to box and wasn't scared, he was ****ed

    You see, Lennox is a perfect example, pretty boring to watch, but knew because of his reach he could jab Tyson all day long.
