    Marciano was a very special fighter. If Wilder can put Fury down...and he did several times....I won't rule the Rock out.

    Fury has all of the advantages. 100 pounds heavier, 20 inch reach advantage while STILL being the more athletic of the two.

    Mike's pregnant mother visited a gypsy fortune teller many moons ago and said fortune teller gazed into her crystal ball and told her that she had seen a vision of a legendary HW champion from the future in it, a strapping 6'9'' gypsy warrior name of Tyson Fury who was blessed with other-worldly slickness, the gift of the gab, and the dashing good looks of a prime Errol Flynn and that her son too would become a legendary HW if she named him after him. True story

    What?!?! Cunningham was 6'3, Marciano was 5'10, with a much shorter reach.

    Did the fortune teller also say that her son would consume boar meat, beat an old Ukrainian and a man called the human windmill to cement his legacy?

    :lol: Cunningham is 6'3 with a 16 inch reach advantage over the 5'10 Marciano? Cunningham weighed in at a ripped 210 for Fury.. by comparison Rocky in his prime weighed around 185.. not remotely the same size.. Marciano isnt much bigger than GGG.. let that sink in...

    You think that Fury being 6'7 instead of 6'9 gives RM a better chance at beating Fury?

    Are people bringing up Cunningham here again?
    Cunningham is massive compared to Marciano, and was suspiciously jacked for that Fury fight too. He also didn't hurt Fury much with his best haymaker, Fury was back on his feet and back fighting like nothing much happened.

    Fury would utterly demolish Marciano. He could just turn southpaw for fun and do it, too.

    Sorry to say my paisano Rocky would lose a decision to Fury. No knockdowns.

    Would like to see what sort of energy Fury has in the 15th round......

    Cunningham was 6'3 and 210 pounds, saying he's the same size as Marciano is like saying that Spence is the same size as Marciano. (Counting Spence at his in-ring weight of 161 pounds)
