He would have moved back away from Tyson after he felt his power early. That would have put Marciano at a complete disadvantage because he didn't know how to fight backing up. Once Mike took Marciano to the ropes, Marciano would be And that concludes my analysis. LOL
    Ok, how many times have you seen Marciano back up from anyone??

      I say that because he would be in there against the greatest knockout artist and inside fighter in heavyweight history.

        I'd say hes not the greatest KO artist and hes certainly not the greatest heavyweight inside fighter, as I had stated earlier. Marciano for example was a better inside fighter.

          Actually the Heavyweight champ with the highest KO percentage is Vitali Klitschko. Even David Tua has a higher KO percentage than Tyson. Tyson was the greatest elbower, headbutter, low blower and biter in history though.

            Marciano never landed anything like a quick right hand to the body fallowed by another right uppercut in a split second. Just that move alone holds Tyson as a better inside fighter than Marciano. Not to mention Tysons greater speed and power. I'm sure you don't see it that way, just my opinion.

              Like I've said on other threads, you play way too much into stats young man. LOL

                I think Tyson was a very good infighter with those lighting combinations. I just don't think he liked it when someone gave it right back and smothered him.

                  Like I said before my cut off point falls far before yours, but while Tyson was "right" he did have a few guys try to fight inside on him and he looked good doing it. Holyfield and Douglas didn't fight inside on him so it leaves me to wonder what fights your talking about.
