    Berbick was tough and strong with decent power. How would he handle these two swarming punchers?

    Yup, they would get him. IF Berbick had a very large (non-obese) weight & size advantage, it could be a case of a less skilled fighter who had a decent chance. But I think he weighed 208 vs. Tyson, he was no SHW-& not unreal chin like Mercer so he migh possibly weather the storms.
    He also has no massive punch & stylistic advantage vs. the swarmers.

    Both of them get him out of there, likely in the order posited above.

    Never thought him much of a puncher,but he was usually durable.He has the potential to go the distance with both if he doesn't go kamikaze as he did with Tyson, but would lose clear decisions in each one imo.

    You are correct, almost precisely, I was off by 10...& a 1/2.
    Still not enough to make the difference.

    I'm not sure anyone could handle fighting Rocky and Frazier at the same time :p

    He weighed 215 vs Tyson, and actually looked quite a bit bigger to me even though he was officially outweighed by two pounds.

    I'll be damned. I could have sworn the announcer said he was 215, but I just checked boxrec and it says 218.

    I think they both probably wear him down and get a knockout around 8 or 9, and failing that pretty clear a UD.

    Frazier: Should wear Berbick down. No easy win with this tough strong fellow.

    Rocky: Did never fight anyone comparable to Berbick. Could go either way.

    Berbick was a big strong lump and a nutcase .These two stop him.
