Tyson, hands down, the best fighter I've ever seen. I'm talking about that window between Trevor Burbick and the street fight with Mitch "Blood" Green (STUPIDEST NICKNAME EVER), when his whole life was falling apart and he'd take it out on the guy he was fighting, rather than on his old lady or the paying public.
A lot of people don't remember the early days. Tyson wasn't just a brawler. He actually had a pretty good defense and was extremely fast for a heavyweight. It was after the Spinx fight that he abandoned "boxing" and would just try to thrash the guy in the first 30 seconds, lunging across the ring like a pit bull mauling a trespasser.
