Chris Eubank could be unmissable but Mike Tyson has to be the one that you were always guaranteed fireworks and drama.

Odd how people respond so differently.

Tyson was almost never in an exciting fight. His early career was a series of executions.

I'd go with Hearns. Especially post-Hagler Hearns. He was one punch from winning or losing against just about everyone he faced. He bounced Roldan around and then nearly got KO'd himself. My favourite fighter of that era.

Last 20 years though...Hearns of the 90's wasn't the same fighter as that of the 80's
