    Norton by ko
    Leon Spinks by ko
    Michael Spinks by late ko
    Joe Frazier by ko
    Ken Norton by UD
    Ruiz by UD
    Weaver by ko
    Witherspoon by UD
    Bonecrusher by UD or late ko
    Tucker by UD
    Byrd by ko
    Dokes by late ko

    But..............

    Loses to Holmes by close UD
    Gets ktfo by Liston-------------DISAGREE
    Loses a wide US to Ali--------DISAGREE
    Early ko by Foreman
    Early ko by Tyson--------------DISAGREE
    Mid round ko from Lewis
    Loses UD to Holyfield----------DISAGREE
    Loses by ko late by Bowe
    Wlad by UD
    Vitali by UD


    *******************very good list there, I agree with 90% of it. My biggest disagreement is probably that prediction that Liston knocks out Marciano. I see the opposite in fact. rocky would wear him down and stop him in about 11 rounds. Andre makes a good point about Tyson as well, when Evander or Buster nailed Mike to the liver/spleen area in Rounds 1 and 2, he wasn't the same for the rest of the fight. Rocky would CERTAINLY be able to nail Tyson coming in with atleast 2 or 3 really vicious body shots, and I think that would discourage a bit Tyson's aggression/rushing in like a shark.

    This would come down to who had the better chin in the short run- Marciano or Tyson. My money was on Tyson, because their styles were meant for it to end in ko. I'd just pick Tyson within 5 because it was never about Tyson's chin why he lost, it was about his conditioning and heart for the most part when he lost- both to Douglas and Holyfield.

    Spot on.

    Tyson actually had a great chin; what he wasn't as blessed with was stamina & heart.

    He could take a shellacking, no doubt, but he never seemed to possess the will to fight back from a losing position.
