What do you think about such fights? The obvious thing is that Marciano would win both fights, but would these fights end by KO or go to the end (decision)? How tough opponents Toney and Hopkins would be for Marciano? Could they box Marciano as Charles did?
Hopkins is an unfair mismatch(so is toney really) he'd be knackered after a few rounds and have his skull horribly caved in. italian americans everywhere would still be brazen enough find new and inventive ways to argue he was a legit challenge for the rock and better at 40 than he was at 28.
You may have missed it but we just did a long one on Toney ... Hopkins would get his ass kicked ... either stopped or loses a lopsided decision by hanging on for his life for survival ... what in the world would he do to keep Rocky off him ?
Bernard Hopkins: 43 years old 173 lbs Reach 75″ Height 6′ 1″ Rocky Marciano: 31 years old 187 lbs Reach 67″ Height 5′ 10″ If Hopkins was 10 years younger i'm sure he would win, but i think Rocky takes this.
Yeah, the fact that Marciano is slightly shorter is far more relevant than Marciano's punching power and style.
