Which of these heavyweights would you be most shocked to see be knocked out in 1

Tyson nutthuggers? Well thats what the haters use when faced with facts they dont like. Just you saying that Tyson didnt have a great chin means your either a blind hater or a idiot who doesnt know jack****! atsch

 

Douglas was a light puncher? :think :rofl He wasent a big bomber but he sure as hell wasent a light puncher. And yes I can imagine almost anyone being KO'ed by Buster Douglas or anyone with his power if they were hit on the button for 11 rounds and being hurt+tired.

But to answer your topic, I wouldnt be schoked to see Holmes or Bowe (overrated piece of fat lazy garbage) KO'ed in the first.

 

Yeah, and out of those 81 fights, about 71 opponents had a record of 10-20. Foreman's record is INCREDIBLY padded, so don't quote that statistic asif it's anything meaningful.

The only puncher he faced that landed on him was Lyle, and he knocked Foreman down twice and may have knocked him out if not for the bell saving him at that moment. Then there's a knockdown to a featherfist in Young and a knockout to another non-hitter in Ali, and he was stunned often times before he got tired as well.

A quick combination puncher like Tyson or Louis could do it in one round, as he's wide open, has **** balance, etc. I wouldn't put any money on it, but out of that list, he is the most likely.

 

No, Foreman was too solid, too much heart, too dangerous when hurt.

 

Foreman/aLI

 

Ali by a pretty decent margin.

Foreman, Bowe and McCall I could see being stopped in a first round. It would take a hell of a fighter, a whole lot of coincidences and just the right punch.

Ali, though. It's really hard to see him bombed out by anyone while his reflexes are still so minty fresh and his legs so well under him. Survival skills, whiskers and an iron will.

Speaking of survival skills, I think I'd make Holmes 2nd on the list.

 

Ali would be the hardest because he combines chin with the kind of reflexes that make him hrd to hit cleanly, especially early in the fight.

Tyson is moving forwards so if someone plants one on his button he could go early. Foreman is also at risk because he is looking to trade power shots.

 

WHAT?? Don't mention Demspey or Marciano cause they werent "true 200lb heavyweights?? But you then put Tua, McCall on the list!!!!
There were numerous 200-300lb men fighting during Dempsey and Marciano's era, just that they didn't hit hard enough or fight hard enough. If thats the case then why aren't the numerous huge 280lb atletes today not all time greats or champions?
I can't stand this ill informed weight bias. Tyson and Holyfield were only a few pounds above 200 in many of teir earlier fights. They didn't hit harder as the weight increased. Marciano and Dempsey could handle mugs like Tua and McCall all day long. How many times did you see Marciano KO'd or DEmpsey KO'd like Tua and McCall were?

In polite response to the original question:
Ali
Tyson
Holmes
Johnson
Marciano
Foreman
Dempsey
Lewis
Holyfield
:bbb

 

Tyson did have a great chin. In the Douglas fight, he took a horrendous beating. Douglas was a big man landing big shots at full force for 10 rounds. The uppercut he hit Tyson with would have knocked any heavyweight out, including Oliver Mcall if it was late in a grueling fight like that one.
Very few heavyweights could take the punishment he took from Douglas, Ruddock and Lennox Lewis for that matter.
Regarding this list, I would be shocked if any of them was knocked out in one round.

 

Ali.

 

Ali

 

Me too !

 

This is hard because ALL of the men listed have excellent chins.

I will say that Tyson was never knocked out early, by a single punch, or even by a particular combination. All of the times he was KO'ed were long acts of attrition and wearing him down. They were all deep into the fight after many rounds of LOTS of scoring on him. Just look at his facial structure--setback eyes, large cheekbones, and a 19 3/4 inch neck. Perfect for absorbing damage.

Someone mentioned Tyson was "rocked" by Bonecrusher at the end of their fight. That is a bunch of baloney. It was a good punch, but Tyson wasn't anywhere close to being knocked out/bothered by it.

So I just can't see him going down in one. You had to wear him down with a sustained and successful beating.

 

I can't bring myself to look at your arguments because of the childish attitude you bring. You could have tons of good points and I will never know.
