    I think tyson is an almost unique combination of speed power and aggression hence why lighter guys would get out of there so quick. Louis was a great puncher and quick handed but he was slower footed and would struggle you catch up to some of the more mobile light heavies; in addition he was more methodical. Liston and Foreman are as aggressive but much slower; Tua was fairly quick and powerful but he didn't have tyson skill to work his way into range which is why he had all those late kayos. Baer didn't have it upstairs. Dempsey and Marciano weren't that much bigger than light heavyweight themselves (although big enough to batter them). Frazier is fairly close but he didn't start as quickly as Tyson.

    Bottom line if you tell i need to find someone to knockout a 175er in quick time or it's curtains I think tyson is my guy.

    Oh, don't worry, you can address me now...perhaps it would have been better, more appropriate if I had mentioned that I despise NON-Jewish purveyors of media filth as well. You disregarded most of my post, which went like this:
    "Originally Posted by red cobra:

    Look, I'm with you on all the Speilbergs, Hatzenbergs, Kratzenbergs, Matzenbergs, etc., all the creators of media filth, and all....

    ...yes, I could/should have mentioned non-Jewish examples of media types, but I didn't, as that poster Sangia was referring to Jews only, and I don't dislike these people because they're Jewish, but for the political slant that they are hell bent on cramming down our throats,.."our", meaning all those who are in profound disagreement with them and demonized in the process.. A cursory look at what I have accented from my post should tell you that I'm not antiSemitic, in fact, on the CHB Lounge, I've spent a great deal of time debunking and contesting the many true aniSemites and Holocaust deniers that abound there.

    The only 175ers who would have a prayer of a chance lasting with Tyson would be those who were fast, proponents of defense, and of those, primarily the ones who were not inclined to frontline their punching power, i.e, who didn't overly commit themselves to offensive output...and who had a decent enough chin, who fought at one time as heavyweights,...and that's why I listed two in particular, Billy Conn (survived to round 13 with Louis) and Willie Pastrano (Willie was never decked by a head shot), who both had those stated attributes, which ultimately would have failed them, but maybe would have ensured allowing them to survive to round 4 or 5, and that's pretty much a fanciful, optimistic prospect, even for these two.

    Why are you playing into the hands of the predominantly Jewish media by claiming anti semitism pertains only to Jewish people, when history shows that Semitic people were / are NOT solely Jewish?


    Someone might well point out differences in Arab media reporting, would you straight away accuse them of anti semitism?
