@TA152H01 thats very true.......but no man including the Rock in invincible and everyone can be beaten it's all down to opinion on who would win, i think rocky would beat liston but tyson uppercuts is a bad style like foreman/frazier because wading in head first is not the way to beat Tyson that is tactical suicide just as Evander,,douglas or Lewis how they beat tyson

[TA152H01]

@B04Jordan Keep in mind you're comparing two quitters with a guy that never quit, and never lost.

Both would have two rounds to beat a guy that's never been seriously hurt. After that they'd have no chance. Also, if they got hit with his power, they might quit. They liked to quit.

Whatever the stats or the "expert" analysis you have to admire JJW;s courage and tenacity. He just kept coming back year after year. How many thousand rib cracking body shots did he take before landing that left hook that at last made him world champion? And consider the legends he stepped into the ring to face. Charles, Louis, Marciano. I bet that pain for the rest of his life was part of the price he paid for his time as champ,.

@Tmontana44 he was in his prime at this age . he wasnt as good as this in his early career

0:40-1:00 Rocky was truely awesome but I can't help but think that if it was a prime tyson ( with cus) or liston he might have been overpowered here

@topeneid True, but most of the great contenders Marciano knocked out were all past their prime, which included Jersey Joe, Archie Moore, and Joe Louis. I believe if they were younger and in their prime those fights would've gone differently, just like how I believe if Marciano were to face Ali if Ali is able to go on the tactical, move his head, and throw that straight right jab, he could win by KO but if he doesn't fight smart Marciano would win but then again I'm not such a huge Marciano fan.

@Tmontana44 after muhamed ali marciano was the greatest boxer of all time with one of the hardest punches to ever been thrown was in this match in round 13 he is by far the best white boxer in heavy weight to have ever lived

[Tmontana44]

Marciano only won 'cause Walcott was past his prime,

@TA152H01 Cool Life Story Bro

[TA152H01]

@BlackLabelForLife Actually, if you weren't a retard, you'd see he brought up what he perceived to be grammatical errors, which were not.

So, to use your low-life vernacular "Sub-literate jackass much?". I hope that made sense to you, twit.
