    Since he has such a good shot vs Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano, how does Bob fare against Mike Tyson?

    I was gonna say Tyson by KO, but he looks like such a homo in that pic that I'll have to say Fitz.

    Sexual inclinations don't affect someone's hand speed or punching power :D

    Tyson was better than Louis or Marciano.

    Tyson K.O.

    H2H i would be very comfortable picking Tyson over Louis.

    Longevity and achievements are another matter, but those sort of things are down to other factors.

    Fitzsimmons via heart punch. Tyson had a glass heart, stylistically Fitz is all wrong for Tyson, and so is Duran.

    Fitz has the power, but I don't see him being able to withstand what Iron Mike dishes out. Tyson by KO.

    Fitzsimmons via KO1. :D

    That lummox Tyson never faced an opponent so agile, so small. His only victim below 195lbs was the 185lb Ricardo Spain, but a Peak Bob was 167lbs of grit! The plodding Mike would simply be too bulky, clumsy & slow to catch the little man who bounces in & out, peppering him with bombs.

    Yes & i'm quite a knowledgeable Tyson-Appreciator, i just know he's completely out of his depth here...

    Maybe Mike has an unlikely "Puncher's Chance" if i'm being optimistic. :good
