    How does the bout take place under more modern boxing 12 rounds, Tyson by TKO early,, Under 1940s rules i'd say Rocky Marciano just to much heart yes he would go down,,

    Tyson crushes him. Easily.

    Marciano today would be a fat LHW

    As much as I like Tyson his lack of an inside game would make Marciano a very bad matchup for him.

    No way Rocky could keep a prime Tyson off him - too much power and speed. Tyson ko by Rd 4.

    Under what 1940s rules would the result suddenly changed from a easy quick Tyson KO to one where Marciano somehow wins because of his heart? :dunno

    Believe the hype train if you will but Tyson would also lose to Ali as well as well as others,, The same universe where a crusierweight moved up in Holyfield and walked through Tyson to get the win! So yes i believe under a 1940s rules you'd see Tyson being stopped mid to late by Marciano,

    he's right tyson could not fight inside for anything, he was a mid-range fighter. watch all of his fights and youll see that he would go in and his opponents would just grab him and he would freeze or he'd just tangle arms and wait for the referee to break it or to get pushed off, i dont believe that he just used clinching for breathers, little do people know that cus did not teach him how to inside fight which is very interesting.

    and yes most likely marciano would kick tysons ass and beat him, marciano would enjoy fighting tyson very much and his cross would eventually hit tyson and most likely he'd get knocked out.
