    Undoubtedly.

    Whether or not it would have made him a better fighter is uncertain.

    Depends who he is fighting, of course.

    Against Lewis he should come in heavier. Against Tyson he should come in as was.

    I realize that but some of the guys he Ko'd were big as some of the guys Tyson punched out. I want to compare them weight for weight and side by side. I am unsure whether Tyson could've went un defeated against Marciano's competition. The two guys I think could've beaten Tyson on a Buster Douglas like night are Walcott and even and maybe Louis. The Louis that Marciano beat was about as good as the Tyson that was whipped by Lennox Lewis though. I really am unsure whether Douglas or Holyfield could've pulled an upset over a 32 year old Marciano much less a 24 year old Marciano.

    He would be a cruiserweight for most of his career.

    I take it that this is Prime Marciano vs. Post prison Tyson.
    The result is reasonable.

    Nice video, but Tyson wins by stoppage (possible cuts) circa 6th round.

    There are a few muppets on this board going around talking **** about good trainers like Petronelli and Valle.
    Believe me, those old trainers are respected by their peers solid professionals with great track records.
    And the critics on this board know next to nothing about boxing. Some of these guys have never been near a boxing gym, nevermind boxed or trained a kid in boxing.
