JAMES TILLIS is not a name that rolls of the tongue for many boxing fans - but he is someone that Mike Tyson certainly remembers.
However, the now 65-year-old American is adamant that the Baddest Man on the Planet was not the hardest puncher he took on.
Speaking previously to Boxing News 24/7, he said: “People ask me about Tyson and Shavers - let me tell you, there’s no comparison. None whatsoever.
“Shavers, he hit so hard he could turn horse p*** into gasoline. He hit so hard he could bring back tomorrow.
“Tyson hit like a sissy in comparison.”
Tillis added: “I beat Shavers, and I know I beat Tyson. I wanted a rematch with Tyson real bad, but Shavers? No way.
“When he hit me and knocked me down, I saw pink mice and rats smoking cigarettes.
“That fight was the toughest 30 minutes of my life. The Acorn was one bad dude, let me tell you.”
