    Not a troll thread.

    Canelo has fought taller and bigger men than Marciano.

    Current Canelo versus 1952 Marciano with 190 lb rehydration clause, 15 round fight.

    Who wins?

    Would The Rock lay a hand on him? Would be interesting how Canelos chin holds up.
    Could the Rock wear the less durable man down and get late TKO?

    Or would Canelo be too elusive, counter punch Rock the way he does, perhaps KO or UD the slightly bigger Rock?

    Gotta think Rocky would be too rough and tough for him down the stretch. Canelo could pick him apart for the first 5 or so rounds but the old school warrior would get through it and then be relentless with the pressure down the stretch. One weakness Canelo does have is his work rate and stamina. Would he be able to keep up with The Rock? I’m not sure. Marciano wins on points

    Pirog was a huge unknown. I favour Nelo.

    I always felt at the time Pirog was over hyped.

    Rocky is naturally stronger and has beaten bigger opponents than himself, Canelo had to gain muscle mass, Rocky would crush him...

    2 people picked Canelo to beat Rocky over 15 rounds and 4 think he'd go the distance. Hmm? you guys should follow tennis instead of boxing.
