I almost said Kenny Norton. Norton was good but to me he was not great. He had a good style for Ali. But Foreman demolished him and so did Cooney. The fight which I think might have put Norton in the upper echelon would be the Holmes fight. I like Ken I just think he was a guy who came along at the right time.

Bramble at the time seemed like a real prospect when he beat Mancini. He did beat a good Tyrone Crawley. But then the way he lost to Edwin Rosario seemed to take away everything he seemed to gain by beating Mancini. And he never came back. But do you think he was a guy who was not good and beat the best?? Because Mancini was not really the best, but he was a good iconic fighter.. His story was almost better than he was as a fighter.

Glenn Johnson.....

Beat me to it. He has one of the best quotes in boxing. "I'm not the best, I'm just capable of beating the best." Great fighter who I hope never gets forgotten.
