More punching power: Tyson or Marciano?

He might just think marciano is the better boxer. whereas tyson is the harder Hitter.

Saying that Rocky was more skilled than Tyson is even more dumb than saying he was more powerful!

Are you being serious? i mean, tyson was a good boxer but no where near as SKILLED as rocky. please expand on your logic.

Tyson was definately more skilled than Rocky. He was clearly the better combination puncher and there is no denying that. Tyson had a better jab as well. His jab is very underrated but when he used it in the 80's it was very good. Watch his fight with Tony Tucker for reference. I also believe Tyson was superior at slipping and ducking punches with his defense.

if they ever fought i bet rocky would win based on the fact that tyson would fade and get caught in the 8th.

Rocky was far from skilled. He was a wild clubber. Of course Tyson was more skilled than Marciano. Most boxers were.

tyson = speed/power/agility 3/5

marciano = power/chin 2/5

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

You forgot that Tyson also had a good chin, and better defense.

Real opposition like Evander who he fought after 4+ years off, and only 9 rounds of in-ring preparation against losers. For some reason everybody forgives Ali his loss to Frazier after 3 years off and 18 rounds of in-ring preparation against excellent opposition (Oscar Bonavena and Jerry Quarry). By the way, watch the third round where he bit Holyfield's ear; Tyson was winning that round by simply throwing combinations. Put them in the ring before prison, and Tyson wins in an excellent fight.

Real opposition like Lewis who fought a 35-year old Tyson well beyond his prime, and after another extended layoff (one fight in 20 months against Nielsen). Put them in the ring in 1993-1994, Tyson cracks Lewis' fragile jaw, though this too would be a good fight.

The haters crack me up just as much as the homers.
