Rock vs Iron

Sorry for the tragic and graphic ending to my scenario ... I guess I did get a little morbid..atsch But, it's a morbid business and regrettably it does happen.. But besides that, what do you think would win..and why?

For the Tyson fight, Rocky goes into a special training regiment and diet designed to add 10 to 12 lbs. of muscle, coming in between 198 - 205. Running 10 to 15 miles a day with the 1 hour workouts on a 300lbs heavy bag, and 1 hour on the mini speed bag the Rock actually gains speed and punching power.. Even goes to his uncle's chicken farm and chased and caught chickens. Ran up and down hills, forward and backwards, chopped wood for hours... When he steps in the Ring with Iron Mike, Marciano actually looks as big and as muscular as Mike. He has a grim determined look on his face.. Nobody has ever seen a Rocky like this before...He didn't just prepare for a fight, he prepared for Iron Mike.. In this fight, the Rock brings mind boggling endurance, stamina, strength, durability and heart at a level Tyson has never seen before and he cannot withstand it. Brutal KO by the Rock.

 

Well, it's not because I felt a need, we are talking about a fantasy fight.. why wouldn't Marciano have prepared for Tyson like I imagined? He would've had to up his game to beat Tyson.. I admit that.. Everyone seems to get hung up on the old clips and Rocky's size and weight..and the age of his opponents.. Why not think outside the box? Volumes are what these posts are about.. not snips or one liners.. And it's okay to disagree isn't it? But on the other hand, if you awaken your imagination, please.. share just a smidgen of the volumes of which you speak.. None of our opinions can be settled with certainty anyway... It's all open for debate... And the question I posed is.. Do you think the Rock would have prepared for Tyson like he did for all his other opponents, who admittedly, were no where near the challenge Tyson represented.. ? And he would've know this going in.. I think not.. I think he would have turned himself into a monster.. And the Rock, upping his game to the degree I fantasized, is scary.. and, a very real possibility...

 

HaaaaaaaaaaaaHA... I like your colorful speech... Marciano, would have to come in at 205... and he could have done it.. And naturally.. no PEDs.. He was already as strong as an ox... The extra weight would've only made him stronger.. the Rock could take punishment better than Tyson, he either didn't get up, or the ref stopped it. Marciano didn't care where he hit you.. arms, shoulders, buttocks... He busted Roland Lastarza arms ... Tyson arms are flesh and blood too.. Yes, Rocky would had to gained weight without losing speed and endurance. Proper training and diet could do it back then.. The only thing he didn't have to increase was his heart.. He felt no pain.. got knocked down, got backup.. And don't anyone tell you Jersey Joe Walcott couldn't flatten any heavyweight in history when he sat down on his punches.. Just look at his left hook on Ezzard Charles... The Rock, like all fighters have a button, and if hit hard enough would go down.. Archie Moore hit like a mule too, one the highest KO percentages in history.. And the Rock was no more than a light heavyweight when he fought either one of them.. Soooooooooootheeerrrrrrrryeeeeeeeeeeeegoooooooooooooo! :good

 

Very plausible assessment..nothing to disagree with there... at least you gave your opinion and why? My only counter point is that Tyson didn't get stronger as the fight went on...the Rock did.. And he has been known to finish fights with his nose almost hanging off.

And remember, I'm not talking about the films of Rocky we all have him frozen in. But a Rocky who knew he had to gain weight, muscle, and speed... and knew he would have to train for Tyson accordingly. Some say I'm building a mystic fantasy Marciano.. Not really, he could have trained to achieve my imaginary Rocky.. Which would trump any of his historical performances seen on film...

It may be presumptuous on my part to think his handler's, and the Rock himself, were smart enough to figure that out, and prepare for the biggest challenge of his life.. And since this is a fantasy fight anyway... why not fantasize him stepping up in weight to physically be closer on par with his opponent? Patterson did this for his rematch with Ingemar Johansson, adding several more pounds of muscle, including almost 2 inches on his neck.. Rocky had the physical attributes and dedication to achieve this makeover too. Marciano just never had to do it in his career.. Why would he not for Tyson..?
