    ya know, fighting a guy like Cobb, Tyson just might run out of gas throwing punches, then Randy knocks him out

    Honestly I'd be surrised if this made it to round 3, berbick was also a durable guy but anybody can be knocked out, especially against a ATG with Tyson's firepower

    Tyson stopped a few durable guys in his time. I don't see Cobb being any different. Maybe he escapes been floored as was Bruno but he'd end up dazed and battered ,with the ref jumping in about the 5 th .

    Cobb would not last the distance. His face would be a mask, his head would swivel around like the Exorist girl too many times. Tyson by mid rounds tko with Tex on his feet.

    I could envision that scenario happen against, say, Bert Cooper. But, Tyson had good enough smarts, conditioning and durability not to punch himself out before getting Cobb out of there. Even if Tyson did somehow gas out, I think he'd get his second wind and Cobb didn't have the power to capitalize before Tyson got the second win.

    Cobb may go the distance with his terrific chin and huge size if he fought Mike like Bonecrusher did but he would not win a round and might get seriously hurt too ..

    Tyson vs Cobb made me think of Drederick Tatum vs Homer Simpson

    Agreed once again Fergy. Tyson stopped the incredibly durable Pinklon Thomas with a savage 15 punch salvo for
    the first and last knockdown of his career. No knockdown but a ferocious battering with Cobb still standing as the
    referee mercifully's interfere's.

    You didn't know they actually fought? It went about as expected: Cobb's chin kept him in it for while, but when it became clear he was going to take a worse beating than Holmes gave him his corner, uh, "intervened".

    Cobb lasts the distance with Mike, but is a battered mess at the bell.

    Tyson knocks him out in a few rounds. in this case Tyson hit harder and better than Holmes.

    Joe Bead: if you’re serious that Tex Cobb would knock out Tyson we have to take away your boxing man card. I know that everyone has their own opinion, but saying Cobb knocks out Tyson is beyond idiotic. Please, no more jokes in this boxing chat room.

    Would not want to see this bout. This has potential post-fight investigation by the State Boxing Commission
    written all over it.
