Marciano would be coming to fight and Liston is going to get hit. Maybe Liston wins by T.K.O. but not nearly as quickly as some are saying.
Agree. Also, the styles of fighting in the Holy-Tyson bouts favored a Holyfield stoppage of Tyson.
Most sober guys OFF THE CLASSIC forum should know Tillis was nowhere near Ali's level.
It doesn't have to be the '66 Ali. The Ali of '74 (who beat Foreman) also beats Tyson.
Young fought like a sparring partner. Ali won AND SO DID GEORGE. I can't stand that fighting style. Bull****. Young fought to survive only.
Obviously they wouldn't have put Tyson in there with someone at that level in '85. A peak Cooney was not a tomato can and would have probably...
Great reaction.
Cooney was into drugs at the time he fought Spinks. Cooney was at his best in '81, before being messed up.
True beating.
Tyson still wins. Spinks would get bombed out in one.
How about Tyson 2013 vrs. Spinks 1988? Tyson ko in round one.
Douglas did far better than Ruddock. Ruddock gets credit for taking all those body shots and not wilting.
The Tyson that fought Holyfield would probably have beaten most other fighters at that time. He was motivated and dangerous.
The Frazier that fought Foreman in '76 was war torn and out of shape.
The ref would probably stop it before Cobb hit the deck. If the ref let it go, Cobb may well have been floored.
