Marciano never lost a fight, could KO pretty much anyone to win the fight, more than anything that sets him apart from Tyson is Rocky won through adversity! Tyson never got close to winning through ANY adversity...the worst thing he fought through was I guess being stunned by Bruno other than that whenever he got cut or bruised or knocked down he lost.

Yeah for being slow and having lackluster defense he sure NEVER LOST A FIGHT. And with the kind of people Tyson fought if I were in your shoes I wouldn't talk S*** about opponents faced.

Those are the alltime greats that Marciano beat

My favorite fights were against

Lee Savold W93- L39

Ted Lowry W61- L56- D10

Johnny Shkor W29-L18-D2

Eldridge Eatman W15-L19-D3

Talk about record Padding

I feel comfortable Talking all the shit I want about Tyson opponents

Like I said Lennox Lewis can only better the geriatric beatdowns that Marciano did

So then Why should people talk shit that Tyson beat an aging Holmes
