Buster Douglas vs. Rocky Marciano

You certainly cannot rule it out. Douglas was awesome that night.

I tend to think that what puts Marciano above Tyson historicaly is that while less talented he always found a way to close the gap on his Douglases.

 

True,

and also keep in mind that Tyson's loss to Douglas came on a night when Mike didn't appear to be 100%, something that wasn't an issue for Rocky, given that he always showed up to fight.

 

Bouglas by ko in 7!

5'10 vs 6'4
190 vs 230
Do the math

 

Rocky would KO Buster. If Tyson had been in shape he would have done it too, Tyson knocked him down but didnt have anything left to finish him off.

 

By that reasoning, Nico Valuev is the greatest of all time!

 

Rocky beats the stuffing out of Buster, but the inspired Douglas takes the beating like a man.

 

Marciano would never lose to Douglas......have you never seen Douglas against Tucker ?

 

That's about the same math that made up Jones/Ruiz and we know how that turned out. :hi:

 

That was a good retort

 

One of the hardest punchers in history, determined, relentless, iron chin, incredible stamina, a ton of heart and great 1 punch KO power. vs decent jab, long reach, has some pop, decent speed, very determined, decent chin, and decent footwork.


Figure it out.

 

Exactly. And Butterbean is the hardest hitter of all time.

 

Ya, they should always just do a Tale of the Tape instead of having actual fights.

 

Yeah..but the difference is Douglas was fantastic boxer the nite he fought Tyson.The Guy looked like the 2nd coming of Ali that nite. Marciano would have had no chance due to his lack of skills and size.
