JMiller, I understand dude, this site is just for discussion, I have no idea how Twister would have done vs some of those 70's and 80's guys. I do know that he was not a very good technical fighter, if you tied up his left he was pretty much willing to go for a draw. I do know that if he landed the bomb none of them had to like it. The other critisism I had of Tony when he played was that he failed to go back after guys after they beat him other than Leroux. Both McCarthy and Bill Huard beat him when was considered the champ and he never even attempted a rematch with ether. The reason I put him so high on my limited top 10 list is that he was very tough and gets a great deal of respect from the fighters themselfes in fischlers "Bad Boys books, they speak very highly of him in both vol 2 and 4 even calling him the champ in vol 4. I hope I can get some footage of these 70's and 80's guys so I can do a better list in the future.
