More punching power: Tyson or Marciano?

[Tha_Greatest]

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.

Im not a Tyson hater, i love that basterd, I even criticized my hero Chavez in this thread, when Tyson came out of prison he was still a giant favorite just like in the fight vs the stiff, Buster Douglas who beat Tyson soundly. I do not forgive Ali in that Frazier fight, fighters have brains and should know how to train and how to prepare for a big fight

easy answer here, p4p possibly marciano, but in overall punching power it goes to tyson.

knowing Tyson, he probably does.

But yeah Tyson hits harder for sure. Bigger, faster, more explosive.

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

I think Tyson Would hit harder then Rocky but not harder then David Tua an like Rocky holds his ko power till the last second of his fights!!! But he is not as skilled Tyson n Rocky!!!

this is an old case here and I agree with the overall consensus of the first thread about this... Tyson had greater punching power than Marciano simply because Tyson KO's people with his HANDS... Marciano's right hand was devastating as well but opponents almost always take a double hit when he launches a bomb because his follow through included an elbow to the face... ouch!
