More Punching Power : Marciano or Tyson.

don't try and change the topic, boy.

 

Didn't change the topic, responded to it.

 

Both had power, Tyson tried to generate his power early...Marciano stayed with him for 15 rds. Tyson only once KO'd a man after the 8th rd and it was a TKO over Jose Ribalta...Marciano had 15 rd power

 

Tyson had power all night. In addition, he was fighting much bigger, stronger men ... .. Imagine if Tyson was hitting 188 pound Charles, 195 pound Walcott, 185 pound LaStarza or porkchop Cockell ? He'd be put back in jail.

There is no comparison.

 

Reality.

 

Except boxing is the only sport you can be legally killed

 

Punching Power is Mass of the source + Speed + Distance the punch travals.
Tyson comes out on top in all 3.

 

Tyson, although his power might be overrated. It was his speed and accuracy that made him lethal. I'm sure if they tested the power of these two men it would be closer than most think. Because Tyson is much more accurate, faster, and just much sharper a puncher.

If it's P4P power it's Rocky. Tyson will always be a much superior puncher, he's arguably the greatest HW puncher. That's including Louis (Although I don't rank him #1. Case can easily be made).

 

How can Tyson be the bigger puncher by Marciano be the bigger P4P puncher? Even though he was smaller he didn't exactly knock out any humongous opponents did he, if they were bloody good opponents.

Tyson knocked his opponents into oblivion.

 

I'd say P4P Rocky and Dempsey are right up there w Fitz and Langford ...

Let's look at this analogy ... 188 pound Henry Cooper for all intents and purposes knocked out a young Ali. Only the bell save Ali from destruction. He was out on his feet. I think it's safe to say Marciano hit as hard as Cooper (at least) ... if Rocky , at 188, hit hard enough to KO Ali, how much harder do you need to hit ?

My point, Rocky did hit hard enough to KO 99% of the guys that ever lived. Maybe a Chuvalo or McCall are excluded but that's about it ... if Rocky landed and could fight his fight which is a whole other story ...

 

Because P4P levels the weight difference. And I said P4P in terms of power (Not as a puncher).

How many 1 punch KO's does Tyson have against ranked opposition?

Tyson was lethal with speed and accuracy. Holmes said Norton and Shavers had more power for Christ Sakes.

 

No doubt Tyson. You can't argue with physics. And his punches were a lesson in physics and form. He used his entire body to generate power. Not that nobody else ever did, but Tyson was particularly exemplary at it. His huge legs were a definite asset to his overall punching power.

Rocky was surely a freak himself, but he did not possess Tyson's physical attributes.

 

The obvious answer is Tyson. And anyone who think otherwise, needs to brush up on their knowledge.

 

I'll say Tyson. He had more one-punch knockout power.

 

In my opinion: From in close, Marciano. From further off, Tyson.
