the most interesting fight on my mind: Marciano vs Tyson

[JAB5239]

- -No surprise to see U completely ignorant that I picked early Tyson with his HOF team to KO Rocky.

Easily found in the comments section, but don't change the fact that Rocky spent 10 or less sec on the canvas during his two KDs.

U never say what grade U in.

Than why insult someone who was only point out facts?

It's a hard one because although I'd pick Tyson, he'd need to KO Marciano early. Which is a tough ask because he had an excellent chin and historically it's rare for a great prime champion to suffer an early KO loss unless they have chin issues. I'm sure people can name some examples but it's not common.

After a few rounds I think it's a lot harder for Mike. Marciano was a dirty fighter and Tyson hated being fouled. He could dish it out but didn't take it so well. Tyson also tired as fights went on, and Marciano wouldn't waste time/energy swinging too wildly too often at Tyson's head, he'd hit his body, arms, whatever was there. I would say 60/40 in Tyson's favour.

- -Not bad. Don't recall prime HOF trainer era Tyson having any stamina issues whatsoever though.

It wasn't his stamina - he seemed to lose his agression/fire/shade as the rounds worn on.

Even the '89 version.

- -Impossible for me to insult someone born to solicit insults.

Always Marciano because that dude taking an L only exists in fan fiction and amateur records.

Clegg have to say this is a very well thought out opinion. You really bring some great tendencies up. Really enjoyed reading this!

Im going to dovetail off your post because your points about Marciano regarding his rare pedigree, going back to the ancient Hellinistic history as well, really influenced my own opinions on the matter...

There are certain things that one can live by in life...

1) death and taxes are inevitable.
2) Don't eat the Yellow snow
3) Marry a girl who is a Whore in the bedroom and a Madonna out in public
4) DON'T bet against Marciano.

Nuff said.
