This is not true, Ali got up against Banks and Cooper and knocked them both out. He was behind against Lyle and Foreman and stopped them too. Stop giving tyson an excuse for lacking heart when several legends proved themselves in that category.
Tyson lost in 2000's to Lewis and other guys with significant height that he had to work to get at. Marciano is not going to be hard anything for Tyson to land on.This may go a round or two more than if it was early 90's Tyson but you have the same results. Tyson k.os Marciano.
Brian Nielsen wasn't hard to land on and Tyson looked terrible against him, he couldn't put him away for the life of him.
What the **** are you on about? When did Ali get up off the floor vs Foreman and Lyle to knock them out? And please show me where Lewis got up off the floor to win a fight. Please do answer.
Are you dyslexic? Do you lack reading comprehension or are you simply ******ed? You said Ali never got off the floor to win and I corrected you (against cooper and banks). All I said was Ali was behind against Lyle and foreman and won. It showed he had a will to win. Stop reading things that arent there and putting words in my mouth to save face. Take the L.
There is a huge problem on this site with people unable to admit they are factually wrong. "Ali, Lewis amongst others never got up to win a fight they were losing either." Ali famously got off the canvas to beat Cooper. It's a huge part of boxing lore. Good ****ing grief.
I think it might be you who has problems here ,Ali was not behind against Cooper and the Banks kd was in the 1st rd so he hardly had time to be behind did he?
Im pretty sure Tyson at his best was better than Witherspoon and Dik Ryan who were the only ones to stop him other than Holyfield in 2011??. Ryan also wasn't a power puncher,but when you fight tyson your adrenaline seems to go up ( bc thats what happens when you are more aware of danger )which makes it harder to actually k.o someone in most cases and Nielson was durable if anything,of course you know this right? Tyson in 2000 is still Tyson and Marciano is still a 5'11 guy at 185 who saw canvas from Archie moore... do the math
My god where talking about mike tyson here .he bite e holyfield ears remember ? Rocky would have crap in his paints when he saw a foaming in the mouth tyson in the ring.didnt m tyson go ape sh.t and ko lou saverse and the ref in the first round? In 2000? Use some engish muffen named francis as ping pong pratice ? Broke goultas neck in detriot ? Marciano would have been the smaller man and tyson would have eaten his lunch.
In that case his entire career has been an illusion because the post prison Tyson looked like sh*t against Botha.
