    Would that be because , unlike Marciano ,who generally wore down his opponents , Tyson ko'd them early?
    Tucker and Tillis fought to survive.Tyson stopped Ruddock in their first fight.

    He had his previous fight 11 days earlier. What do u think? He was extremely active once he started so he prob maintained a decently fighting weight. But after winning the tittle and before he started boxing he was well over 200. I’m done w ur dishonesty on Marciano.

    Is this some kind of trick question? Marciano was so active around the time he fought Vingo I doubt he needed to take much weight off. He’d boiled down initially and kept it off. However, if Rocky took a break from training altogether like fighters do nowadays I see no reason why Marciano wouldn’t balloon 40lb just like anyone else coming from full monk like training to civilian life.

    Good! because I'm done with your pathetic fanboyism and your childish insults, given from the safety of your pc.
    In 1949 the year of the Vingo fight Marciano only once broke 185lbs.

    He had 13 fights in 49 when would he have time to gain weight? More dishonesty.

    Tyson is good against opponents early while Marciano late, same like Dempsey and Frazier.

    Tyson used more muscle mass to finish opponents early but if he fails, they would lose or win by decision while Marciano is okay early but very strong until last round which is effective against guys like Holyfield.

    Tyson started every day ning with a run. He had an old school workout,. just like Rocky. The difference was that he worked with pads. Doesn't effect weight, though.

    Tyson had much quicker hands and was much quicker into range.He was also stopping modern sized heavyweights, and men who were not past their prime.
    I take it you are not going to answer my questions? That seems to be par for the course for Rocky fans. Marciano ground most of his good opponents down with a ceaseless bombardment. Tyson took them out quicker because he was faster ,and more accurate.

    I don’t think Marciano losses to Douglas or Holyfield on their best days. I also don’t think Marciano beats Tyson. This is more to point out the absurdity of bringing up how one fighter does against another as if it’s proof of anything.

    Which good modern size HW he stopped, past prime Holmes or scared LHW Spinks?

    Holmes was and Thomas was washed drug addict.

    You seem butthurt, who hurt you?
    Tyson did the same against past prime Holmes who was unactive unlike Joe Louis.
