    Mike Tyson vs Rocky Marciano


    Mike Tyson listed at 5'10 and was anywhere from 215-220. Im talking about 1986-88 tyson

    Reach 71 inches
    Vs

    Rocky Marciano listed 5 ,10 1/2 and was anywhere from184 -190 pounds

    68 inch. Im talking about the 1952 -54 rocky


    Who would win this heavyweight match up

    Both similar height . rocky would not have to worry about trying to find tyson ,because Tyson would come right at him
    Would tyson smash the rock early or would tyson gas and rocky stops him ?

    As we saw, Iron is subject to rusting, while Rock is subject to weathering.

    Seriously, Tyson is too big, strong, and fast for Marciano. Tyson stops him.

    Marciano had the stamina and the will to win Marciano is not getting knocked out early. To much chin and to much heart. Once it gets later in the fight Tyson gets hit a lot and knocked out before the 15th.

    Marciano by KO late!
    When i sae comments like KO in 1st or 2nd round...I only know that people are stupid nowdays!
    Tyson could not KO old Holmes,bum Tillis,Ferguson and Smith and they were not Marciano!And Douglas beat him!
    Marciano is harder hitter with better stamina,chin and heart!
    The only man who can maybe stop him is Mr.George Foreman!

    There's no logical reason to pick Marciano. The guy was a cruiserweight.

    Mike was way too big, too strong, too fast, too powerful for Marciano.

    Tyson TKO within 3 in an exciting but very short brawl.

    Marciano. He was bigger, wait no he wasn't. Marciano would be outweighed by 30+ pounds. Ok so he's not bigger or faster. But He was more skille wait no, he was among the least skilled champs in history. Well at least he was faste wait no, they're on oppisite ends of the spectrum in terms of speed. Well his resume is far superi, wait no he it wasn't . He fought (and went death with) mostly cruisers and/or old men.

    Well even though, he has no visible advantage, the rock would "find a way" as he always did.
