I mean you guys like Langford, Moore, Wild, Saddler, Ketchel, Fitzsimmons, Foreman, Shavers, Oliveras, Gomez, Dempsey, Marciano & Liston who could all rate higher!
Langford, Wild , Moore , Ketchell, Fitsimmons were all light heavyweights . No way they hit harder than tyson . Dempsey wore 4 ounce gloves give me a break . Marciano no way in hell , he never one punched guys it was an accumulation of punches . Liston, foreman and shavers probably hit harder than tyson . But the rest on that list didnt come close to tysons power.
For starters Moore has the most KO's ever! Enough said there! Look at Ketchel's KO ratio! P4P which I think Ice Cold was referring to when he sais Tyson was top 3 of all time then Tyson ain't in the mix with these guys! Marciano never one punched? Go watch the 1st Walcolt fight! The other guys I listed are all time great punchers P4P. Tyson's early KO's are deceptive because his opponents were limited at best!
