Tyson V Marciano's Challengers?

You're trying to discredit his resume. You're also trying to make a case that Tyson was ahead of Marciano in ATG rankings.

 

I think Tyson beats them all, but they were spread out over 3 or 4 years, and Tyson barely made it past 3 years at the top in his own era, so he could slip up here too.
In fact, Marciano's 49 fight run was spread over 7 or 8 years, and Tyson was probably on schedule to come close or match that, but he didn't. Still, I believe he could have got past an Ezzard Charles or an Archie Moore instead of Douglas, based on style and size factors.

 

Agreed.. The fact that Douglas was 6'4", 230 lbs and still in his 20s are overlooked factors and ones that Tyson wouldn't be confronted by against Rocky's list.

 

I thought I was licking Frazier's **** last time.

 

Moore and Walcott upset him. He beats everyone else.

 

I honestly think Walcott and Charles beat him by UD. Walcott might even score a late ko.

 

It's possible, maybe Walcott the champion 1952 beats Tyson, but not the 1953 Walcott who challenged Marciano and went down in the 1st round.

 

Yes, it would definitely take Walcott at his best. It seems Walcott lost alot of heart after that first Marciano ko. I don't think Walcott planned on going too many rounds that day.

 

Walcott could beat him and Charles of the 1st Marciano battle had a good chance. These fellows had much more experience than the Tyson opponents. Moore could be trouble but I think Tyson gets to him 1st....It would be nice to see the strategy these masters would use. I always felt Walcott would get the upset over Tyson whose best chance would be an early blitz but beware coming in with the pin pointing Walcott

 

Oh, then definitely Walcott would lose probably the same way. Walcott just didn't have the heart anymore. Charles of the first fight still can get a UD from him.
