    Battle of 2 former champs.

    Rocky: 5'10 187 lbs, 68" reach
    Vs
    Primo: 6'6 265 lbs, 86"? Reach

    Rocky with major dimension issues here he'd never faced.

    Edge in power to Rock if he can land it.
    Rock had shown a propensity to get busted up pretty bad,but Primo was awkward and prone to injury too.

    Does Rock get him out of there, or does Primo keep him at the end of those long punches all night.

    I presume most predictions will be Rocky bludgeons him to the arms and body and Primo gasses and bust up badly, and between 10-15 rounds gets set up for a Suzie Q.
    Thoughts?

    Marciano was a beast, he could break an arm with his punch although he was small, a cruiserweight today, a small cruiserweight....................but would be dominant..............

    Carnera - according to his own manager - regularly went down in sparring when 'lightly tapped on the chin by guys 100 lbs lighter than him'. Easy win for Marciano.
