    It would have given him a decent second best victim I guess.

    This. These muscle mountains are insanely strong but slow AF and their cardio is not what they train. Marciano, even though he's not known for his defence, would have been competent enough to evade the ponderous attacks of a guy like this. I say by the end of the first round the strongman looks like a beetroot.

    I know this isn't boxing but it's still relevant:

    I wonder how Wilt and Shaq would have done against Kareem, who took lessons from Bruce Lee himself.

    Stepping in for Dempsey1238 for a moment, I could next point out that popular 1950s perception of Potgieter's ability to beat Marciano is not strong evidence of what would actually happen. Dempsey1238 was picking an iconoclastic/surprising result. We would not expect it to be in tune with what everyone would anticipate back then.

    Only a German can truly teach you the secrets of the umlaut. Keep seeking, salsanchezfan.

    All Kareem needs is a jab and the kicks that Lee taught him and he'd stop both of them in fairly brutal fashion. Wilt was an athletic marvel but without martial arts training he'd get bodied.

    How about Shirley Temple vs Andre The Giant? How stupid can we get on this site? I've been on this site for years...and man has it gone down hill. What kind of questions are these? Amazing....

    :qmeparto:

    Remarkably, though, 18% of the poll's very small voting pool has voted for the strongman.
