Fighters That Would Probably Stop Marciano?

One question for OP.

Out of the 49 fights Rocky had. Can you find one were Rocky was really hurt and in survival mode? Were Rocky was clinching, holding, or moving , fighting off ropes?

Anything?

Rocky was a as close to an Ironman as it gets. What kind of power would it take to starch him out cold? Without that kind of power the best way to beat rocky was to be a cute boxer.

I have no idea if you could outwork him.

Perhaps as others have said. Jeffires, Johnson, or Vitali might be able. I would PAY anything to see those fights.

 

Funny you bring up Tyson's 20th fight. That was the same time at which Marciano was getting bounced around the ring by the great Ted Lowry.

 

I will echo the good Colonel here.

Its not that I don't think that he could be stopped, it is just that I have no idea what it would take to do it, as I do with pretty much any other heavyweight.

For example if he fought Lennox Lewis, we might see a reaction to the power that we had never seen in him before, or he might just shrug it off like Holyfield.

If he was taking repeated right hands from somebody like Schmeling or Holyfield, we don't have any clear idea where his breaking point would occur.

Therefore I am reluctant to say that fighter A, would probably stop him.

 

That was 11 years after Mike turned pro. What was Marciano doing 11 years after he turned pro?

 

Their timelines don't match up very well.

Lets just accept that, and move on.

 

I would give Bruno a good shot at it, too.

 

I have to respect any man with The Sniper as his avatar.

 

Had to 'like' it after that. You will go fishing for compliments, you.

 

Good call.
