    If Marciano was born in 1988, he would be an even 6-5 in stocking feet and probably weigh in around 235.

    Simple math, morans.

    Depends entirely on the era they fight.

    Fury is what is required to be the best today.

    Marciano is what was required to be the best of his day.

    How the hell does Rocky win this one? Fury is not only massive but he knows how to use it.

    Isn't Tyson Fury 6'7 though?

    Definitely doesn't look 6'9 but I've never shook the mans hand, so I can't be sure.

    But that can’t happen. It has to happen in a place or time where both can exist together.

    Both are severely disadvantaged against something that can not exist in their own times. So in order for it to happen it has to take place in one or the others time.

    In fury’s time fury wins. In Marcianos time Marciano wins. Both win as easy as each other in their own times.

    In the 1950s Marciano takes a gangly, thin armed, long necked Fury out with a punch to the Adam’s apple in the first round. Stretchered out.

    In 2020, at 189lb Marciano isn’t even allowed to fight a super heavyweight. It wouldn’t get sanctioned.

    C'mon guy, are you really saying he couldn't reach him? Because of 11"(9"), no one has ever landed on someone 11"(9") bigger? That's nonsense, he would 100% be able to land it's just a question of frequency.

    No he wouldn’t. Marciano would be a steroid charged shorter modern heavyweight just like Tua or Tyson. And he’d do just as well.
