A 1963 US army series of tests on boxer Rocky marciano found he had as much power as an armour piercing bullet and had the force behind his punch equivilant to that needed to deadlift 900lbs off the floor!!

lol!
-
Doesn't mean shit......
-
Cyborg would eat him alive!
-
rugged tough puncher and a legend in the sport
49-0
-
"Mindspin" would have simply choked him out then gone back to his $2m a year job!!
-
brutal dirty fighter, would have made mince meat out of the tap out warriors..........
-
marciano was a true freak. he was like a fucking tank, impossible to knock out
also very small for a heavyweight - like 185 or something
didn't go to the funeral for his best friend (crushed by a backing truck at the loading dock while working)
killed in a plane crash in 59
-
He was killed in 69 and whats this about not going to some funeral?
Yes hed kill todays "cage warriors"
-

I just watched the Tyson documentary last night it was pretty good, he is just a child in a big tough body.

Tyson is just a kid still at heart. the only person that ever helped him was Cuss when he died he fell apart.

As with all fighters to a degree and a handful of particularly insane martial arts like this goof I saw on Sport Science that specializes in getting kicked in the nads, areas where you take abuse can be toughened over time, but I read once it was reported following Marciano's autopsy his skull was 2 1/2 times thicker than the average dude. Hitting him had to be like trying to knock out a slab of steel, haha...
Combined with his heart and stamina, unbeatable as the record shows, 49-0...
My all-time heavyweight top 10 (in no order) is him, Ali, Tyson in his prime, Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Joe Frazier, (young) George Foreman, Ken Norton, Sr., Jack Johnson (rep only - no tape on him, lol), and Evander Holyfield. Lennox Lewis if one more.
Thats apparently the case with English hard man Roy Shaw, apparently his skull is twice as thick as average
