The thing about Mike was, his weakness could be his mental stability. Everyone figures if you don't back down, he's going to eventually crumble mentally. That's just the beginning of the second act. When he got unsure, that's when the armbars, the biting, and extra-curriculars started. Golota was like that too.

I agree with Mercer being on the list. He genuinely liked to hurt people.

Tua maybe also, I think. He was always smiling outside the ring, didn't have to be in a bad mood to almost kill you. Ask Moorer who was was like his best bud when Tua almost decapitated him. You could try to wait him out but that leaping left hook was always there.

Maybe its an ego thing and no disrespect to Tommy, but I don't fear a guy like hearns. His facade was meant to be intimidating but i just remember how it turned to that goofy grin whenever he got clipped. I think he got greedy at times and put himself in range and could time and eventually catch the hitman.
