A 26- year old Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield knocks out San Paulo's Adilson Rodrigues in 1989. Rodrigues lay flat on his back as referee Mills Lane counted. He never stirred as Lane gave him the 10-count, and he remained on the canvas for several minutes before he was revived. "I could have counted to 50" Lane said. "At 10 he wasn't moving. That Holyfield has a heavy hand."
Brandon Rios, "Bam Bam", a gladiator if there ever was one. He was one of my favorite fighters to watch because of his style, nothing cute about it, just toe to toe trench warfare, stand and trade and may the best man win, hellacious gunfights, that's why he was nicknamed "Bam Bam." These are some of the toughest fighters, toughest people on Earth, because you get hit a lot with that style, and I mean a lot, every fight is like being put through a meat grinder, the damage sustained with that type of style is ridiculous. These types of fighters often burn out quickly because they absorb so much punishment, but man are they a real treat to watch at work because every fight they're in is pretty much guaranteed to be a shootout. Brandon Rios only knew one direction, and that was forward, there was no backing him up. He was going to force you to stand and trade and see who was tougher, and more often than not Rios was the last man standing.

Gosh, Valuev was a monster, just a behemoth of a man.
David Haye was a great defensive fighter as well, he could have you swinging at air.
The Hayemaker was a great one.
