Foreman completely overrated as a puncher.

    I think Tyson would win I'm just saying Tyson would get a shock!
    on his best night, i doubt that would happen.

      Marciano would beat prime tyson BUT he would have to train differently,
      the way tyson holds his hands if he wasn't ko'd after the 4th cause he ran out of steam, the fight would be stopped because there would be blood clots in tyson's arms

      honestly before Marciano would go into that fight he would know that all he'd have to do is weave one of tyson's long hooks and he'd be in on the body

      he'd throw a few hooks to the body, windmill upper cut, and then a Right cross and down goes tyson

      and you can't say Tyson's size would be too much because tyson's an inch taller then Marciano and marciano early in his career fought guys like 6'5

        tyson was about 40lbs. heavier than tyson and way faster and stronger.

          never said anything like that, i find it funny u say one thing and ppl r quick to jump n call u an idiot for saying it, i beleive dempsy>marciano>frazier>tyson they all expanded on the style of the last, so quit jumping on my nuts about it, broader shoulders=more leverage with punches and tyson would of ****d marciano with lefts and rights, marciano never fought anything remotely close to tyson during his heyday, he didnt wait long enough for that to happen..

            While I do agree that Foreman had murderous force behind his punches, similar in that respect to Max Baer, he was not the knockout puncher he is remembered as.

            All of his big wins and stoppages show him him battering half dazed opponents to the canvas over and over again. He was good at cutting off the ring, and once he got you against the ropes he turned you into a human heavybag, but when did he ever knock a man unconscious with a single punch, or even a two or three punch combination, in the center of the ring like Louis, Dempsey, Lewis, and even Marciano managed to do in their careers? He didn't because he lacked the ability to do so. He either didn't have the timing, or perhaps it was that his punches were a fraction of a second too slow to pull off one of the most coveted tricks in boxing history: the one punch finish.

            Foreman was a powerhouse for certain, but he was more of a clubber than a puncher. Ali was absolutely correct when he said the same thing about Foreman in the mid 70's. Foreman bludgeoned and smashed, and deadened the senses of his opponents, but he did not have the ability to win a fight against world class opposition with a single blow.
