    Yeah, without an X-Ray machine its going to be hard to gauge Tua and Marciano's bone structure.

    They both had huge heads and hands, that's about all we can tell with our naked eyes.

    Before Tua started heavy weight training and gaining bulk, he only weighed 200 lbs and didn't look to have a much bigger frame than Rocky. He looked quite small as the pictures I posted show.

    Tua looked more natural looking at 200 but not exactly stick thin. A strong looking kid but not so abnormally built. At that point he looked like he could even have been a bit lighter.:think

    Marciano's fist measured 11.25" Tua's 13" Spot the disparity?
    Tua turned pro at 20 he weighed 201lbs for his debut and steadily gained weight as he matured, by the time he was 23 he was up in the 220's.
    Marciano turned pro at 23 scaling 192lbs but dropped weight as he got in better shape, he never scaled near 200lbs in his entire career. A year into his career at 24 years old he weighed 178lbs for two fights and 179lbs for another.

    Make a note to yourself, "must try harder"!:lol:

    Make a note to yourself "training was different"


    After all ..it allowed a guy with Rockys dimensions to build into a modern sized heavyweight, beat HW champions then win the cruiserweight title.

    Tua looked chubby in the low 200's, could have definitely lost a good 20lb.

    Does that alter the size of their fists?:lol:

    Tua has a 10 inches bigger chest than Marciano and 5.5inches bigger biceps! Do you think any training would make that disparity up? If you do, you are out of it.

    Norris beat men that had held versions of the title at some time, spot the difference?

    But Norris shared dimensions so closely to Rocky that you agree he could carry the same weight if he was exposed to the same training programme?
