    Go get your head in shinebox because you are delusional stupid fan!Not even Shavers and Lyle stronger than Tyson and Patterson who was faster could not knock Quarry and how Tyson could?
    Quarry would beat Tyson ala Evander Holyfield because his style!Quarry always beat peek a boo and that is end of the story!

    Jerry Quarry liked to go to the body, great counter puncher.

    Ha! This is a trick question! Obviously he would inflict the most pain if you fight Tyson and Marciano at the same time!

    If taken seriously, that sort of thing is a symptom of ESBCTE.

    ESBCTE can also cause you too argue about hypothetical, cross generational fights and call someone who disagrees and use the phrase, “ I’m not 100% sure how this would turn out or because someone doesn’t call them call someone an idiot because they dare disagree with your outcome. Other symptoms include: marveling at a Harry Greb (possibly drunk) shadowboxing and proclaiming it is evidence that he is the greatest fighter of all time, arguing that Don King was not a criminal and good for boxing, or asking how many Rocky Marciano‘s or Mike Tyson’s would it take for the Poles to have crushed the Nazi’s.

    I don't because I am not pathetic fan that always favor Tyson against everybody!If being realistic is special than I am not batman but Robin!
    Lets see Shavers hardest puncher,Foster and Lyle equal punchers as Tyson and Quarry beat them!
    Patterson also peek a boo user faster than Tyson Quarry beat him twice!
    Buster Mathis Sr. also peek a boo user Quarry beat him badly!
    I would favor Quarry over Tyson because his counterpunching style,chin,stamina,heart and equal speed!

    Quarry gets stopped by both Tyson and Marciano early.

    Quarry was just a guy. Ron Stander beat Thad Spencer, knocked out Shavers, went to war with Frazier and got stopped by Norton, too. So what?

    Quarry was a contender. Shavers was a contender. Lyle was a contender.

    There wasn't an easier champ to beat from the start of Joe Louis' reign in 1937 through the end of Ali's second reign in 1978 (41 years) than Jimmy Ellis. And Quarry couldn't beat Jimmy Ellis for the belt. (Even Shavers and Lyle beat Ellis.)

    Tyson and Marciano were all-time greats. Big difference.

    Tyson would TKO Quarry in the early to mid rounds. Quarry game to the end, would make a fight of it but is bleeding profusely.

    As for Quarry. He always did say he thought he would've been able to defeat Marciano. And unfortunately, I agree. Marciano, unlike Frazier is much to slow, uncoordinated, and sloppy, and would play right in the hands of Quarry's counter punching. Quarry TKO 9 a brave but hopelessly outclassed Marciano.

    Cause Tyson was a better boxer than those 2 by a country mile.
    Cause Tyson was faster by a country mile.
    Cause Tyson was a hell of a lot stronger than Shavers. Cause Tyson's punches were far more strong and accurate, thus inflicting a lot more damage.

    Shavers is nowhere near the hardest puncher, there is no statistical metric to support that. His KO percentage against HW's that weighed 215 pounds or more is under 50%.
    Foster is nowhere near as hard a puncher as Tyson.
    Lyle is the only one that might be as strong of a puncher.
    But that's irrelevant since Tyson is miles in front of all 3 when it comes to speed and punching accuracy, and that is what sets him appart.

    That's the dumbest analogy I've ever heard. Tilis was an Ali type boxer, does that mean he automatically beats Foreman ?!??
    Of course not, you dummy.
    It's not only the style one uses, but the person who uses it. The peek-a-boo style suited Tyson better than anyone else due to his body build, power and speed.
    Patterson hit nowhere near as hard as Tyson, neither did he have his power and chin.

    Quarry was a good boxer, but he's not in Tyson's ballpark. Mike destroys him.

    Tyson does everything better than Quarry and would beat him by early stoppage imo .The speed and power would be too much for Jerry.
    Marciano would make a much more competitive fight in which both would have their moments,Rocky's edge in power would probably be the deciding factor,imo, but a Quarry win, brought about by effective counter punching is not beyond the realms of possibility.

    Tyson was never better boxer than anyone I mentioned!He could not box moving backward which means that he was never good boxer while Lyle could!
    Tyson was never faster than Patterson who was after Ali second fastest HW ever!Patterson left hook was helluva faster even in his amateur days!Patterson was lighter and punched faster with either hand but his bobbing and weaving was not so good!
    Tyson was stronger than Shavers could only be said by stupid Tysonite who is jealous because his boy is not near Shavers power!
    Tyson punches are more faster,accurate and more damage?What about 42 years old Shavers who knocked Larry Simms in 2st round while Tyson need 3 rounds and stopped him on TKO and did not knocked him out cold like old Shavers did in 1st round?
    Shavers is ranked as hardest punchers even harder than Foreman and you are trying to tell me Tyson is stronger than him?
    Shavers hit harder. He dropped Larry Holmes with one single blow to the head. Tyson needed more than one shot to drop Larry. Plus Holmes said that Shavers hit harder and both were in their prime when he fought them.
    • Shavers had 74 wins, 68 were by KO or TKO stoppage, that’s 91% knockout ratio wins, and specifically 40 of his 68 stoppages were pure knockouts
    • Tyson had 50 wins, 44 of them were by KO or TKO stoppage, that’s an 88% knockout ratio, and 16 of the 44 stoppages are pure knockouts.
    Fighters who faced both Tyson and Shavers like James Tillis, Larry Holmes are quoted as saying Shavers by far hardest hitter

    Shavers won against many HOFmers who were better also than 220lb bums Tyson beat!
    Bugner,Young,Norton,Ellis,....are far better than 300lb bums like Douglas,Tubbs...
    HOFamers who were average sized hw are better than just big contenders!
    "Foster is nowhere near as hard a puncher as Tyson. "
    Lets see Foster knocked Cleveland Williams,Folley,Spencer,....knocked Liston in sparing very badly!
    Lets compare their KO ratio:
    Mac Foster-KOs 83.33%
    Mike Tyson-KOs 75.86%
    AND YOU ARE TRYING TO TELL ME DIFFERENT?

    "

    Of course not, you dummy."
    I guess dummy that you did not hear about style make fights!
    Slugger would beat swarmer,boxer would beat slugger,counterpuncher would beat slugger and stalkers...


    • "It's not only the style one uses, but the person who uses it. The peek-a-boo style suited Tyson better than anyone else due to his body build, power and speed.

      WOW COLUMBO YOU DISCOVERED AMERICA!
      It is all about style and it could be used by king kong but it is gonna not work against other styles!
      Peek a boo could suited him how much he wanted but he would got beaten by some styles!
      Patterson hit faster and was faster on his feets!
      Tyson chin?Man was knocked out by bums like Douglas,McBride and Daniels!

    Mike Tyson initially dropped Holmes with a single, brutal right hand, and Holmes never recovered. Tyson stopped him. Holmes recovered from the right hand Shavers put him down with. Shavers never stopped Holmes in two fights over 23 rounds.

    We've had this discussion recently in the Juan Manuel Marquez thread. The guys Marquez said were the best at something were also, coincidentally, the guys Marquez beat.

    Of course, the best puncher Holmes faced wasn't the guy who floored him three times and stopped him in four rounds. (rolls eyes)

    It was the guy Holmes fought 23 rounds against who Holmes beat twice. Just like the hardest puncher Tillis ever fought just happened to be someone he also defeated, too. Not one of the 22 fighters who beat him.

    It's not uncommon for fighters to hype the opponents they beat and downplay the guys who beat them.
