Yes Vitali was a lot bigger, yes his defense wasn't GREAT but he was awkward and hard to hit clean even if his defense sucked.

I don't want to go into size too terribly much because I still think Rocky Marciano beats Mike Tyson but if you look at the size difference between those two and the size different between Vitali and Foreman, Ali, Frazier, etc it's a lot greater.


That being said, if you asked Vitali this question he would probably say he would lose both fights
I tend to agree with you Lyle, but Marciano beats Tyson No way bro.
Marciano definitely beats tyson. Marciano threw the hardest punches to date for a heavyweight. Tyson was knocked almost senseless by Buster Douglas and Marciano was never floored for longer than a 5 count. When he got up from the very few times he was knocked down, he showed no dizziness and appeard to be completely there. Marciano wins with more power, a better chin, and not being intimidated by tyson's power.





Marciano by far is not the hardest puncher in HW history......There are a lot of guys who hit harder.....Tyson hit hard yes but Mike was never a 1 punch KO artist...Mike combined speed and Power...His combos are what got guy's....Funn thing about Tyson is all Mikes punchs had steam...Unlike most gus who throw a combo Usually one of the punchs are harder than the rest...Tyson hit with consisty he didn't throw just one bomb..they all had bad intentions...Get caught with one hard shot and there was no recovery time with mike...

As for guys who hit harder then Marciano..IMO......

Foreman ( Hardest Puncher P4P EVER!!!)

Dempsy--Another guy who never let up

V-Klitschko---His record speaks for itself

W-Klitschko...We are talking power not chins

Tua--Tuaman all time puncher...Just slow

Earnie Shavers--The acorn could crack

Ray Mercer---In his early years...cot much of a boxer but hell of a puncher...And Jaw
