Most overrated boxer in history?

[BKM-]

He's Bigger, more skilled and Faster yes, not more powerful, had no heart, couldnt fight going backwards, got knocked out by danny williams, buster douglas, lewis and holyfield, and quit against mcbride says alot about your so called "Iron" Mike Tyson.

Tyson is more powerfull because he can put up a whole lot more punches than Marciano and their power is about equal. Tyson did have heart, he'd rather die in the ring than quit when he was young, Like against Berbick. Marciano cant fight backwards either. Most of Tyson's losses were when he was washed up. Marciano would also have losses if he went on untill an old age.

I gotta defend my boy.

tyson was one of the more overated fighters of the last century! he was marketed extremely well, and it worked. his management team conned 80% of the boxing population.

Marciano knew that, hence the reason he wanted to retire on top as Gene Tunney and others had done before him. He had more prime fights in him but he had his reasons for retiring.

Also the only way Tyson could throw more punches in a round is if he beat Marciano to the punch but after 4 rounds going with marciano tyson would be tired out.

Tyson > Liston

TYSON. People still think that he can take over the divsion NOW! I dont like to say ALI, but he is overrated in the sense that people act as if he was this INDESTRUCTIBLE GOD. THe man was beatable. I still think that he was probably the best HW of all time but people exaggerate.

tyson quits when a 250lb. man hits him, not when a 180lb. cruiserweight hits him. How is Tyson gonna quit against marciano? It's not like marciano could hurt tyson with his punches. marciano would get blasted in one round or less.

douglas had to hit him a million times to ko him. marciano wouldn't have the chance to throw that many punches cause he would be laying flat on his back in a matter of seconds.

yea ok. marciano can take a punch. all marciano has to do is hit tyson with 1 good shot to the body.

Taking punches from Jersey Joe Walcott and taking punches from Mike Tyson are two different things.
