Riddick bowe travels back in time to 1940s into the body of rocky Marciano when he was 18 and marciano travels into the future and into the body of riddick bowe when he was 18 and just for the sake of this hypothetical neither one cares that they traveled through time or miss their family, like fry from futurama, how would they fare against each other's opponets
If they’re in the others body, in that bodies own time and given the time to adjust to it. I’d say they do about the same. Although,Rocky in Bowes body will probably fight Lennox. If he doesn’t retire before then of course. Bowe will probably fight longer and eventually get a lost and won’t be as stingy with money as the Rock was. Interesting question though.
Marciano in Bowe's body does a lot better and Bowe in Marciano's body gets nowhere. Simply put, Marciano's success came from inner fire, and he was willing to train like a demon to achieve what he wanted and to overcome the limitations of his frame. Bowe was blessed with a 1980's Soviet-style refrigerator of a body and enough natural boxing ability to allow him to mooch through training and install a fast food joint right in his goddamn lounge and still win against high level competition. Give Marciano Bowe's body and boxing gets banned because too many people are dying in the ring.
Marciano would have fought Lewis in Bowe`s body why wouldn`t he? Bowe in Marciano`s body probably would have kept boxing until Liston knocked him out but he would never have fought him anyway, before that Paterson would have given him a lot of problems because Bowe had no defense and relied on throwing a lot of fast long punches to keep people off or knock them out, his jab wouldn`t be effective enough against Paterson because Bowe only had a good jab because it was fast and long hitting opponents before they could hit him at long rang with Maciano`s reach he wouldn`t be able to jab with the smarts of a Tyson who had short arms but a great jab specifically a counter jab, all Bowe was someone with great reach power and speed that would not translate well into Marciano`s body.
Another good question what about Marciano in Tyson Fury`s body now at 6ft 9"?! I know Fury would be nothing in Marciano`s body I don`t even think Fury would have beaten Wlad in Bowe`s body he`s all about the reach no treble!
My thoughts exactly! Marciano in Bowe’s body is 10 times better than a sane Ike Ibeabuchi on PEDs. Would anyone even want to fight him?
Rock in Bowes body would be Total destroyer .a giant super fit maniac who absolutey will not stop until his opponent is out cold .Like a young Foreman in a very bad mood. Bowe in the rocks body would be a stocky fighter who doesn't always train properly but is dangerous when in the mood.
Bowe doesn’t have the style for Rocky’s body. He’s going to bore in with efficient footwork to throw non concussive blows with an 67” reach on the outside? Not a chance that it will work. Rocky negated his reach disadvtanage with highly aggressive distance closing mechanics.
Marciano would go undefeated as long as he wished BC he wasn't lazy and would be in much better shape and dangerous at 6'5 fighting 190 pounders certainly beats being 5" 10 and having to duck, duck and duck to grind small 6'0 guys out.. The real question would be why is a small white guys head attached to a Blackman who weighs 235 pounds?
