    Ray Robinson, Thomas Hearns, 122 pound Manny Pacquaio had his speed and power IMO, RJJ, Andre Berto(speed and power).

    I think because Mike Tyson was bulky he still basically had a little guy's body, short arms, low center of gravity, that makes for excellent leverage, short arms mean good combination speed. That speed he had was something special, but I think Ali was faster even if you watch Ali against Joe Frazier or Foreman which was after his prime, his jab and cross and hooks were faster, sloppier at least in the hooks, but faster.

    I hate how people act like Tyson was an underachiever or wasted his talent! Sure he could have achieved more but becoming the youngest ever heavyweight champion, having over 20 first round KO's, Being the second highest grossing fighter of all time and being undisputed champion of the world is not really under achieving is it?

    Give people the earth and they want the galaxy though right?
