More punching power: Tyson or Marciano?

[Underboss]

case reopened. marciano's punching power was greater than tysons. not by much, but it was definately rocky that hit harder.

what the hell are you smoking man? look at marciano's arms, and look at tyson's arms, the only thing marciano had good apart from power was his chin, but c'mon man, let's get real, tyson had much power and agility than marciano, tyson would eat marciano in any round.

This thread is a joke . Marcianos power doesnt even compare to tysons.

Tyson..........

I can't see Tyson hitting Ezzard Charles for 15 rounds and Charles not going down, so therefore I pick Tyson.

Watch the rematch. Also Louis hit Charles for 15 rounds, and Charles didn't go down.

lmao , its funny how most of you are just riding the bandwagon and saying tyson. you really need to do you research and you will see that marciano had the superior punching power.

No bandwagon here. All you can really do is watch both of their fights and compare the punches they throw and the impact the have on the particular fighters they are in with.
First off Tyson was bigger than Rocky, second off he was faster and more explosive. He also had the superior punching technique when it came to combinations so all of these point to Tyson.

Tyson used 10 oz gloves as opposed to Rocky's 6 oz - it's harder to KO a guy with 10 oz as it is with 6. Mike fought the bigger guys and ended fights on average a lot quicker than Rocky. If you asked the opponents of both fighters they would tell you that they both hit damned hard. I think the difference is Marciano was more of a volume puncher where as Tyson had more early stopping power. p4p it's a different answer but as it stands I'd have to say Tyson had more ****.

The best k.o win tyson has is Micheal Spinks, he k.od a bunch of no names just like my hero(Julio Cesar Chavez- not being sarcastic on chavez)Tyson really didnt have great power as people believed, he just established a reputation of a monster that will never be beat, he fought on t.v 16 times a year in 86 and 87 and beat no names, we all know how it went for him with real opposition like Lewis and Evander

We all know this was'nt the same Tyson, While in Jail he lost some of his speed and he was'nt the same like he was in his prime. Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, undefeated prime Tony Tucker and Biggs (Biggs was'nt the same anymore since Tyson destroyed him) or powerful punchers like Ruddock or Bruno (Bruno almost had Lewis out, watch his fight against him)

tyson hit harder . tyson broke golata's vertebrae with the right hand on the jaw that floored him which fractured his cheek bone and damn near left him paralysed for life . Also did you see what tyson did to sammy schaff,s and ferguson's nose with one punch. He also set eddie richardson flying through the air with a right hand which i have never seen happen before.

I don't think that's helping your case if you compare that to some of the horrific things Marciano has done to his opponents.

Marciano used 8 oz gloves, the same sized gloves that Tyson used against Ferguson. People are mistaking power with snap, technique, speed, precision, accuracy, and timing with pure power. Marciano had more pure power than Tyson, Tyson had everything else with the punches on Marciano.
