    Norris gets his brothers, Orlin and Terry to back him up.

    So when the television commentator talks, are the words going to come five seconds after he opens his mouth like in the old 1970's Martial Arts movies?

    Love those movies, the Bruce Lee imposters, and the classic titles
    like The Master of the flying Guillotine, Shoguns Assassin ,The Five Deadly Venoms,
    Five Fingers of Death, 36th Chamber of Shaolin. The names of those films alone
    told you exactly what you were about to watch!!!!!
    Black Belt Theatre began at 1300 hrs , usually over at 1500hrs on Saturdays, right in time
    for the NBC,CBS, and ABC Boxing matches lol.
    Great times for this impressionable young man!!!!!

    What rules are we talking about? Norris was a legitimate competitor in the old 60s/70s freestyle karate tournaments. At one point probably the best under those rules. So this isn't as silly as it initially seems.

    Nevertheless, unless this is something that allows Norris to use his brown belt in judo, I'mma go with Marciano. Norris was a middleweight, and fought in a competition format with less contact than boxing on average. (Bare fists & feet, usually full contact to the body regardless of what the rules said, often -- but not always -- lighter to the head.) Norris doesn't even have a height advantage here. Also, the public occasions where 60s point karate guys faced boxers usually ended badly for the karate guys. Finally, one of the other top karate guys of the period noted that Norris-trained blackbelts couldn't fight inside to save their lives. If that limitation extends to Chuck Norris, he's in for a whole lot of pain with Rocky.
