    We would have 32 more Marciano knockouts to add to the highlight reels. 32!

    24 of them would be in the first three rounds.


    Something to consider with all this debate about the Rock.

    A montage of said knockouts would represent a Tuaesque argument, based upon him destroying limited opposition.

    For my money we have the ones that really count.

    It's a good point.

    Perception of Mike Tyson, for example, still includes the sight of loads of his early KOs against tomato cans in those highlight montages, sending guys flying through the air with big punches. In Rocky's case, he probably has some pretty chilling spectacular KOs that were never filmed too.

    The heart guides the opinion more than the mind. If we had 32 more knockouts of Marciano, it would surely change many people's mind about him.

    Imagine what the consensus on Tyson would be without the first half of his career on film.

    Yeah, and those are the most memorable Tyson highlights, especially for casual fans.

    Yes, but for all the wrong reasons.

    Yes and from what I recall he only ever knocked one of these out cold, was Tyson even a one punch knockout artist....

    That might actually be quite instructive.
