    No way and Tyson was superior to Marciano in every way.

    Marciano, the guy that destroyed Joe Louis, will eradicate Joshua like some unwanted weed in the garden.

    The old school toughness and gameness together with the armour piercing fists will prove too much for Joshua. They don't make them like that anymore. Rocky always found a way, and he will do it again. If even Louis who is #1 or #2 on many lists, couldn't stand up to Marciano then there's no way that AJ can. Size doesn't matter.

    49-0 baby.

    You are a lot more wrong than the man you answered who said Tyson was about 215 lbs. in his prime-that is an agenda, like rounding Rocky's weight down to 180. Tyson was 214-221 in any fight that can be considered around his prime.
    Now I agree that Tyson was better than Frazier in absolute terms due to his combination of speed, power & skills.

    But you betray mucho bias in saying Tyson was better "in every way".
    Really? You have been here a long time & are no newbie to boxing.

    You do not know that Frazier had a higher workrate than Tyson?
    That even being busier, he had greater endurance?
    That unlike Tyson he never showed any wavering of in-ring motivation or anything but an absolutely massive heart?
    That unlike Tyson he came back to win when behind & (repeatedly in his case) on the canvas?

    Marciano's no Mr. America. Joshua's a Mr. America. He's Sonny Schmidt. He's Jack Lalanne. His style is interminable, his defense is pregnable, and he's frequently on talk shows. Anthony Joshua has a physique like Billy Blanks, height like Christopher Lee, and stamina like Anthony Joshua. He spits creatine and bleeds whey. How dare Marciano challenge him with his primitive blueberry diet? Also, I hear Joshua's a boxer.

    50-0 and that's my final word. Mayweatehr will have to smash another debut fighter to preserve his ego.

    Marciano wouldn't be able to pay the price his game demands against such a physically superior opponent. The underwear model controls him, batters him and stops him late.
