More punching power: Tyson or Marciano?

[Grappler_Baki60]

Who had more blunt force trauma behind their punches? Who do you think would be more prone to giving a normal person brain damage. I honestly think they are so similar ( size, shape, style) that i think it is really a toss up. However, i give the overall nod to marciano.

Tyson punches way harder then Marciano. I seen Marciano go to distance with bums. BTW George Foreman is the hardest punching heavyweight ever.

No you didn't, because there's only one fight left over on video from Marciano's that went the distance, and I'd certainly hope that you're not calling Ezzard Charles a "bum".

Oh, and for the record, those who took the punches of both (like Ali, Norton, Young, Lyle, Caldwell, etc.) all state that Shavers hit harder between him and Foreman, so don't mind if I give their opinions just a little more weight than your own;

"Shavers. No question. At least with Foreman I was able to get up. When Shavers hit me I went down and stayed down." - Ken Norton, when asked who hit harder between the two

"Oooh man, that man is always with me. He hit so hard, the HARDEST (emphasis taken from quote). I still feel his punches today." - Jimmy Young

"Shavers hit me so hard it felt like needles were jabbing the back of my head. Without any hesitation, Shavers was the hardest puncher I met." - Ron Lyle

"He(Shavers) was the hardest hitting human being I've ever met. He hit harder than Foreman and Lyle combined." - Leroy Caldwell

The Ali quote can be looked up in quite a few different places, but you could probably find it easiest by looking at the video of Ali on the Arsenio Hall (with Tyson & Leonard) show on youtube.

I think Marciano had like, what, five fights go the distance? That's not a lot of bums he was going the distance agains! A bum with a great chin will probably hear the score cards every trip of the train. Look at Tex Cobb (I know he's ugly but look at him anyway). NO ONE could crack that chin, and had they fought Tyson wouldn't have either.

Marciano is a BUM what he weight in the past isn't consider Heavy Weight Today. What I said b4 still stands Marciano was a bum who fought bums PERIOD. The people he fought NONE had good defense seriously. Thats like Tyson fighting random people in the street who dont have any boxing experience. Any heavy can swing hard at someone who doesn't put their hands up.

Whatever you say, chief.

Tyson had more raw power but Marciano had more brains. That's why Marciano would have knocked his ignorant ass out. Tyson quits if you take him past 5. Marciano by 7th round KO

Honestly though its Marciano, Tyson wasn't a on punch guy..Marciano was, don't get me wrong Tyson probably hit harder but his devastation lies in his combanations..Marciano's a one hit artist...

I think you got it the other way around.
