Marciano also beat Archie Moore who AT THAT TIME was very legitimate. Still holds the record for most career KOs at 131.

Archie Moore's great but he built his record off the same guys Marciano did. Quantity of KOs doesn't really matter tbh, no one's going around saying Travis Fulton is one of the greatest ever.

Whoa, let's not compare Archie Moore to Fulton, that's insulting.  He was a great light heavyweight, an all-time great.  He was really old and shopworn when Marciano beat him, though.

fighting wise NO you cant compare them, who I will compare her to though Is ROYCE GRACIE Back in the early days of UFC

And by that i mean The fact that nobody really could counter Royce's Jiu Jitsu because none of his opponents knew what BJJ Was back in the day. Similar for Strikeforce giving Ronda fighters who dont specialize in Judo, or any strong Judo Practitioner.And until She does get an opponent that is good at Judo i think Ronda will keep winning Via Armbar in such a short fight

Hey has anyone looked up why Tyson and Foreman never fought? They were supose to fight eachother in Foreman comeback after beating Moore.  The fight never happened however. From what i have seen from articles it looks like Tyson was scared of Foreman.  From every account i have seen it been Tyson camp which stopped the fight from taking place. Anyone found any official statements about or know more about this?

I agree.  I think Foreman could have gone down in the top 5 maybe even top 3 if he had kept fighting in his prime. I almost think Foreman was his own worst enemy in that way.

I know that Tyson was meant to have fought Tommy Morrison i think just before it was revealed that Morrison was "HIV Positive". But back a few years ago he found out that he doesnt or didnt have HIV, and then had a few fights in Modified MMA Rules
