    So a guy who was the same dimensions and carried the same weight as Tua and Tyson has no part to play in this debate if his career provides the answer??

    So let's address the title "marciano body frame could easily be Tua and Tyson" answer "yes look at Norris"

    Exactly it's not necessary but there is evidence of successful boxers of the same size building up and taking it off to suit a situation proving that it is possible and plausible for Marciano.

    Norris was never near the same dimensions as either Tua or Tyson and you know it.You've really gone down hill with this. ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

    COULD MARCIANO BULK UP TO THE SAME SIZE AS TUA AND TYSON AND ACHIEVE THE SAME SUCCESS ?

    Because that is what the thread is about.

    Well in reality he was actually more successful than the pair of them put together so I can't see why not....

    Yeah, and he just looks like a fat Italian geezer in a suit. Both Tyson and Tua still looked bigger, broader and NOT fat when fighting at about the same weight.

    Anyone who really believes Marciano could train, eat, or whatever to represent an in shape Tyson or Tua needs to go to an optician, or stop buying comics.

    186 pound Marciano beats anyone Tua or Tyson actually beat.

    He was the same dimensions. Tua debut weight was 201lb, then about 217-220 and 225 after four years. Then he was usually 230-244 as an older fighter in the 2000s. One time he was an eye popping 252lb.

    When Norris turned pro he was 199.05 at the same age Tua was. Like Tua Norris was 227 four years into his career too. After his stint as a cruiser he also came in at among the biggest weights Tua scaled with Norris coming in at a totally unnecessary 246lb against Brian Neilsen.

    Tua is listed at 5'10 with 70" reach. Norris 5'9"-5'11"with 70" reach.



    Simple answer IMO is "yes"

    And there is enormous evidence to back this up.

    Tua looked fat even against Ibeaubuchi.
    Tua carried plenty of fat.

    Again, where has the come forward 186 pound heavyweight with no reach and little speed gone who can take the division by storm in the manner of a Tyson?

    Tyson proberbly was the last one. He lived in the modern era so he weighed 30lb more....

    Your question means nothing.

    There was only one Marciano.
    There was only one Tyson.
    There was only one Michael Spinks !
    etc.

    Where's the modern day Ali ? Where was the olden day Ali ?
