    sorry but it is a complete bunch of trash.. plain and simple... tua was MUCH BIGGER FRAMED THAN MARCIANO, tua weighed 201 pounds at 19 when he was a boy, he fought in the limit of 201 pounds in the amateurs just like tyson and frazier, marciano was 100%developed and he was a man and he was in perfect shape at 185 pounds, rocky was a complete pig at 200 pounds, i t is a complete bull****, marciano was fat above 195 pounds. you are using the lowest weight of tua in order to insinuate that rocky was close to him in size... pathetic.. marciano fought even at 178 pounds.. prime vs prime tua weighed 225 pounds and rocky 185. 40 pounds of difference. marciano was clearly smaller than frazier,tyson and tua

    Tyson and Tua are sort of the exceptions to the "You must be this tall to take this ride" rule. There's really nothing that Rocky doesn't have that Tua does except thirty to forty pounds of muscle. If I juiced the Rock to the gills and added 30 pounds of muscle to his frame, I could see him fighting David Tua on even terms. The question is whether his body could handle that extra mass. But in the Rock's usual 190 pound body Tua would just bomb him out. Marciano is slow and extremely hittable and should be knocked out with ease. He's thick and durable so I see this going a couple of rounds with multiple knockdowns and Marciano lunging for a couple of hail Mary's before the end comes, but it will come. Tua by midround TKO.

    Tua bombs him out via Ruiz/Moorer style.

    Tua bombs out little Marciano with his power, where on ESB it's comparable to Foreman. Marciano simply was KO'd too many times and showed little heart.

    Who did Tua beat or show this awesome power that make him beat Marciano in 1 or 2 rounds? His punches didn't slow down Ike, Rahman was robbed first fight and battered Tua in the second fight(despite Hasim coming 20lb? heavier then he had ever been upto that point),Klitschko hurt Byrd x25 more than Tua with punches..

    Marciano KO9-10 Tua

    :rofl:rofl:rofl


    But honestly..

    If Rocky can KO a much slicker fighter like Walcott where as Tua landed awesome shots and still couldn't wear down Byrd. I'll pick Marciano power over Tua's.

    If Tua couldn't wear down a man like Byrd,and he caught him early, what makes you think he is going to KO Marciano in 1 or 2 rounds..

    As limited a fighter as Tua is, the runt has nothing for him. Anyone who thinks that Marce is going to muscle Tua around is absolutely delusional. Tua by KO.
