I hate to admit, but Marciano is just too small for a lot of more modern heavyweights, but he was the same height as Tyson and wasn’t small enough compared to him that he couldn’t get up to that size with some steroids, 30lbs is significant, but can be put on with steroids. Who wins this matchup?
It's not that Rocky was just too small, he was too damn slow and had horrible balance. His best chance would be Mike being overwhelmed by the excess of openings Rocky was giving him. That's best case scenario for the lil guido.
For me, it’s far too speculative to guess how Marciano might’ve fared on steroids - I tend to think it would’ve taken from the more ideal and considerate balance of his au naturale state though.
Straight faced, in terms of skill - Rocky would be the best boxer Mike would’ve ever fought. Underrated, even Cus thought so.
More skilled than Lewis Holmes Tucker Thomas Holyfield etc? Cus died before Tyson even won the title,so his opinion is worthless.
Cus’s opinion on Rocky Marciano’s boxing ability being underrated is worthless? What a negative take, good God yes by far a better boxer than some of those guys, seriously, It wasn’t pretty but he was a more skilled fighter than the listed yeah.
I don't think anyone could beat Tyson at his own game. To beat Tyson you need to have to be tall, have a good jab, and clinch every time Tyson is on the inside. Rocky did not have any of those attributes. Tyson also hit harder than Walcott and Moore who were both able to knock Marciano down
Rocky marciano on EPO and 2bol would be throwing 150 power punches a round and hitting Tyson with the meanest **** he's ever been hit with for 15 rounds, Buster Douglas put the fear of man into Mike Tyson, Anabolic Marciano would put the fear of God on his and his ancestors soul If Mike doesn't get him out of there in 3 rounds, Roided Marciano enacts a biblical beating on Mike. I don't think Mike dissects Marciano in 3 rounds, and I'm not betting money on anyone to beat Rocky Juiciano in a 15 round brawl
