Ali-Tyson Fantasy Match

[Tom Yum]

Its easy for us to try the what “ifs”. I personally feel one of the best heavy weights in history was Jack Johnson. But that’s another topic all together.

How about Rocky Marciano? I think he went undefeated. He was also probably one of the lightest heavyweights ever at 180 something.

Rocky was good but I think he have gotten destroyed by the true heavys, a good heavy man will always beat a good light man.

I agree. But didn't he KO guys who were 210 - 220 range?

Marciano was a brawler too who had that really low stance. I'm gonna start another fantasy fight thread.

[TerryV]

From what I can recall and understand, there were not many havey weights over 210 at the time. But hey I may be wrong, would like some input on this from Mike. He seems a little more informed on the old fighters.

Everybody is aware of the way that ali used to piss his opponents off before a fight, sonny liston for example was given an emotional battering before his physical one, i dont think it would take long for the great mouth to wind tyson up so much that he is frustrated from the first bell, i think ali would win because tyson would t4ry way too hard
