    It's not just that he's bigger than Marciano, it's 30lbs of muscle bigger and Tyson has the best/sharpest punching technique of any high power heavyweight, no other big puncher has technique like Tyson, not even ones with less power do

    In your opinion, does Galento hit harder than Tyson?

    No, Tyson is superior in speed, power, and technique by quite a margin

    His stink technique was quite lethal.

    It's no longer about whether or not Tyson hits harder than Marciano, I can agree that he probably does.
    The main point is that I have dispelled the idea that Louis was weak chinned, susceptible to punchers and would crumble early under heavy barrages. He never did even when completely washed up so the notion that Tyson puts him away in the first 4 rounds or so is fantastical.
    Keep those arguments for people who we have evidence that they could actually be sparked out from the get go.

    Unpopular opinion; Liston, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Evan Fields, and Lewis do too
