Shocking people made him out to be a giant at only 6’. I know people were shorter back then but come on!

Didn’t know that, thank you.
He was the 6th champion of the gloved era. Of the 5 that came before him - Sullivan, Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Jeffries and Burns - only Jeffries was a real specimen at around 225lbs. Burns and Fitzsimmons were really just MWs/LHWs.

Yeah it’s weird when you see guys barely over 200lbs at heavyweight when they could easily be a cruiser!

Ali was not big and he was huge compared to Floyd Patterson. Actually Tyson is not really large either, nor was Marciano and they were IMHO the hardest punching heavyweights.

This might sound retarded but I guarantee a guy like Tua has more KO power but Tyson had speed and accuracy/timing which benefitted him!

Tyson isn’t tall. His neck, head, forearms, fists, etc. all are above average. He’s big, he is just compressed lol

But compare Ali and Tyson’s fighting weight to someone like Frances Ngannou or Tyson Fury. When Ali fought Liston the first time I doubt he was over about 200.

If you are going with P4P power at HW, look no further than Marciano, Jack Dempsey, Bob Ftizsimmons and Sam Langford.
Marciano, Dempsey and Langford were around 185-190 and had all-time power, Langford being rated #2 on the Ring’s greatest punchers of all time. Fitzsimmons was a former MW (world champion) who routinely KOed HWs and took the world HW title from Corbett with a single body punch.

You should see what they have done with the breed in Pakistan and india. They cross bred them with larger dogs for dog fighting and hunting. They make great catch dogs.

Ahh yes I know the Gull Terrier from reading about dogs. I’m not a fan of dog fighting but those are some serious dogs. The Bully Kuttas as well in those regions.

Can we stop the talk about dogs and get back to talking about people getting punched in the face? Thanks.
