I personally believe in this Fantasy match up that Marciano would make Tyson fold between rounds 4-8. Tyson although an amazing puncher, Tyson lacked Heart or at least Composure. While Tyson Lacked it, Marciano made a career of it. Marciano had an ability to stay composed during the toughest times and push himself to the next level. With his Power, Heart, Granite Chin and a mind made for Boxing, Marciano without a doubt would KO Tyson I'm dramatic fashion!

every single notable win by marciano were against past prime fighters.

and he should have lost the walcott fight because of teh grotesque cut on his nose but the mafia allowed him to continue so they can continue to market his undefeated status.

Golden Age of Boxing = Most Corrupt Age in Boxing History.

that's a fact.

tyson crushes this mafia controlled guinea.

Couldn't disagree more!!! Wallcott fought his heart out and punished Marciano but Marciano did pull off the win and did so with a small margin in my book.

And what were Tysons notable wins?

And what were Tysons notable wins?

Exactly. Not in any way better than Marciano! A win against an old Louis surpasses most if not all of Tysons wins. Only one I could think of is an old faded Holmes.

Tyson KO 2

If tyson couldn't get Evander Holyfield out early, there is no way in god green earth he would KO Marciano in 2.

And what were Tysons notable wins?

I'm not saying Tyson would beat Marciano but he has some wins that are very overlooked. Berbick, Spinks, Holmes, Tucker, Bruno, Ruddock. Tyson was a great champion is his own rite. He was at his best mid to late 80's. You should go back and watch early Mike Tyson.
