Tyson vs Cǒckell

[The Old LefHook]

Don gave Rocky quite a tussle. Could he do the same for Tyson? Would Don be too much? Would his brain power carry the day?

I assume you mean Mike and not Fury?

****ell didn't look like much but he possessed some craft and grit. Problem is he looks like a bum because he's fat, but he doesn't fight like one.

Tysons still a more dangerous fighter though and would stop him eventually. Or even sooner because he's faster.

Tyson would have punched the beer-farts out of him.

I am going to pick Tyson myself in this one. Cǒckell is a powerful man though. He would beat a few heavyweight paper champions himself.

****ell would be lucky to go 3 rounds with Mike Tyson.

When I saw this thread I couldn't believe I made it...because who really cares about this one?

it was one of the last fights of rocky's career. so if we look at Tyson at a similar point in his career, than maybe he struggles with ****ell.

Tyson after all lost to Danny Williams and Mcbride (2 fights supposed to be easy for Mike). And was younger than Rocky in doing so. In fact when Tyson was 28 he was losing to Holyfield.

Age isn't everything, Marciano trained harder than Mike and stayed in shape - ****ell was supposed to be an easy finish.

Just keep in mind when this fight happened, Marciano wasn't in his prime, nor did he expect ****ell to even put up a fight.

This thread pretty much sums up why anybody who is a Rocky Marciano fan should be banned asap. Don ****ell was knocked out by guys like Randy Turpin, Jimmy Slade, Aaron Wilson, Johnny Wilson, Dave Goodwin, Jock Taylor, before Rocky Marciano did. Rocky Marciano took 9 rounds of cheap shots to stop this D Level fighter while many of Don's other knockout losses came much earlier showing you how overrated Marciano's punching power was even compared to 180 pound fighters. Mike Tyson knocks out Don ****ell and Marciano in the same night.
