Rocky Marciano VS Mike Tyson.

[butterfly1964]

i see marciano being dropped but still gettting up and fighting on
as the rounds progress tyson tires but marciano because of his amazing stamina is still throwing power punches like its the first round and this leaves tyson bemused marciano by ko in the 9th

please! marciano almost didn't get out of one round with joe friggin' walcott, so why would he be able to get out of one round with tyson? again, tyson in one.

Being knocked down is not the same as being KO'd. Thats like saying Ali almost didn't get out of a round against wepner.

Ali was hurt more against Henry Cooper than Marciano was in his entire career, and Cooper was no better a puncher than Walcott IMO.

cause wepner didn't floor him. it was a slip. wepner stepped on ali's foot and tapped him in the side, so it looks like he hit him hard, but ali was pulling back from a punch, so he would have busted his ass anyway.

yeah, but marciano was prime against walcott, and clay wasn't against cooper.

no he didnt ive seen the film close up bert sugar and everybody at espn classic ringside said he didnt step on his foot, ali was ashamed a bum knocked him down. so he made up a lie in the locker room.

Face it, your thoughts on Marciano's knockdowns aren't valid. You can say that about any fighter for that matter.

actually in review of that film, when i saw it on espn classic bert sugar had commented that if you look Wepner got Ali with a solid body shot laying him out on the canvas. it wasn't a slip and Wepner wasn't stepping on his foot. It was legitmate knockdown and Ali didn't get up until 5 or 6. he was also slow for the rest of that round.

With Marciano he was up within two seconds, can you honestly say that being knocked down two seconds is a legitamate knockdown- by that i mean can you honestly say he got floored. seems like a lucky shot almost to me. Also its funny that you say he almost didn't make it out of round one because after he got knocked down he kept fighting as if nothing had happened, had Marciano not gotten anything in his eyes for three rounds then not only would Marciano have knocked Walcott out but he would have been ahead on points

here's marciano's knockdowns (sry if there small)

Walcott's knockdown----hm looks like he slipped
