    I don't know how tired Marciano would be in the 10th rd, he never fought anybody 60lbs heavier and nearly a foot taller,and his best fights were with men past their primes.
    .
    How he would cope with a young giant who can box and move is an unknown. Here is Marciano looking up at 6'3"Ali.

    Fury is 6 inches taller than Ali! And 50lbs heavier!

    One thing is for certain, it would look like a circus act.

    Like I said before, power only works when you are in a position to land it.

    Marciano was 5'10 with a 68 inch reach.
    Cunningham is 6'3 with an 82 inch reach.

    Cunningham would probably dwarf Marciano.

    Secondly, Fury was clowning around vs Cunningham, he was not hurt during the knockdown at all, hence why he decided to comb his hair while on the canvas.

    It doesn't matter how hard Marciano punches, when he's got a guy with a 15' inch reach and 60+ pound weight advantage, Furys jab will be enough to stop Marciano in his tracks.

    I honestly think that Carnera was one of the better technicians of the superheavyweights.

    He didn’t hit particularly hard for his size, didn’t take a punch particularly well, and he lacked killer instinct, but he was pretty good technically.

    Hard to call .fury may keep at long range but that is easier said than done against the rock.it could end up looking like Dempsey Willard with fury as Willard.if fury can't stop rocky closing in he is in big trouble.
