    Tyson would blow the son of abruzzi soil into the next millennium.

    Dude, in now way did I imply race I'm talking about skills from both boxers.. I can see you are pulling the race card. That's kinda sad man.

    Nothing like been subjective.. I used to hero worship tyson but as I've said before he never showed true heart. Yes he could hang in there getting a beating towards the back end but he never came back from a losing fight unless it was botha

    I would give rock more chance of beating tyson than I would ali. Ali had to much mental strength on top of everything else

    But we do know Tyson's chin could be cracked, the odds would be massively in Tyson's favour but who knows hey.

    Growing up Tyson was by far my favorite fighter followed and made sure I watched all his fights, but as time went on I was slowly moving away noticing other fighters watching and discovering fighters from the early 1900s up to now. I did wish Tyson stayed more in control of things in and outside the ring but what can you do right.

    Hercs is a good guy but tends to pull the race card quite a bit, don't take it personally James Dean

    Comparing head to heads, I look at what each guy brings to the table.
    I don't see anything Marciano has over Tyson.
    Tyson is bigger, faster of hand,faster of foot,has better defence,as much if not more power ,and as good a chin, plus he didn't cut much.
    I don't find it logical to pick Rocky.

    He has a lot over Tyson, but they are not things that are likely to help him in this fight, unless it goes past the half way mark.

    That is why I have picked Tyson.

    Now if I am wrong and it did go into the later rounds, Marciano would be knocking Tyson from pillar to post.

    Why is greater?

    Marciano.

    I think Tyson's big shots downstairs would help him keep Rocky at bay in spots.

    Tyson was on the verge of being greater than Marciano, when he unexpectedly lost the plot.

    As their records stand, Marciano was greater!

    Remember...Tyson never got off the canvas to come back to win a fight....he goes down...he stays down......
