    BoneCcrusher Smith of the Tyson fight v the best version of Marciano.
    Does the 6'4"233lbs Smith become the second man to go the distance with Rocky in a title fight?

    Or can he bomb out the smaller man like he did against Witherspoon, Bruno and Weaver? I think it's certainly possible

    I was going to pose that question but I thought it a bit too early on a Sunday be getting abuse!lol
    ps Tyson was 219lbs for that fight and he couldn't free himself from Smiths clinches ,nor floor him.

    Something tells me Smith would be a little braver against Marciano.
    That's no slur on Rocky s part, just that he didn't seem to give off that same aura as Tyson did.
    Maybe a different case when they get in the ring together.
    Smith, surprised just how hard the smaller man hit, but let's not forget he'd been in with Ruddock, Bruno, Weaver and a few more big hitters so i see him taking the fight to Rock.
    Smith's punches would also have Marciano blinking hard, he was no feather fist in there.
    But Marciano never stopped throwing, he'd have good rounds. Enough to get a decision win over Smith, both men showing signs of a tough battle.

    BoneCrusher was the first to KD Tyson before Douglas. Good fighter. I pick Marciano but not easy fight for him.

    Mac,

    You should know better!

    Doesn't matter who has already been on this Earth or who may be born in the future.
    Even a heavyweight with the speed of Ali, hitting power of Foreman and the finishing capability of Joe Louis, ferocity of Dempsey & Tyson combined, the chin of Chuvalo. To some it still wouldn't cut the mustard.

    You can't shut down a cult.

    If however the above was of a matching heritage of the little guy, they may give him the draw.

    This. That was a clean knockdown by Smith, but Lane ignored it due to Tyson being who he was. Lane let Tyson get away with a lot of fouls in the fight such as repeatedly hitting on breaks and hitting after the bell.

    This. I like Bonecrusher, but once Rocky starts sticking to him like a second skin and working on his body Bonecrusher would get cut down.
