[The Iron Man]

1 Mike Tyson (Electric)
2 Sugar Ray Robinson (Best Ever)
3 Joe Louis (Ahead of his time)
4 Muhammed Ali (Speed)

6 David Haye (Breath Of Fresh Air)
7 Chris Eubank (Upper Class haha)
8 Naseem Hamed (Entertainer)
9 Roy Jones JR (Masterful)
10 Floyd Patterson (Peak A-boo)

7,8,9 and 10 change alot depending on what mood im in. David Haye is a new comer as he is a exciting fighter in the higher divisions something u dnt see much now, and his love for North Cyprus gained alot of respect from me.
