So it's Rocky v Willie and the fight is three minutes long. The rules say that if Willie survives the three minutes, he wins $1m. If Rocky knocks Willie out, he wins $1m. Both are in their absolute primes and in perfect fighting condition. Referee is a moderate 1950s referee. Ring is 18x18. Who you got?
pep, rings big enough, rocky aint gonna catch him in 1 round, especially since he doesn't have to win the round.
Rocky most definitely, he would come out foaming at the mouth ! Pep was a spender but Marciano worshipped the green stuff $$$$ he would have kod his Mother for a million bucks!
You're dangling some money here in front of Rocky with these rules McGrain....I think you'd see a different animal altogether than your standard Rocky Marciano. He be out of that corner like a big Roberto Duran vs Ken Buchanan....but with more ominous results for poor Willie.
I think Pep is too small here and too short. You'd need a welterweight or middleweight with some height.
Weirdness. Can Marciano grab and knock out Pep in three minutes? Can Pep feint with his feet and divert a sprinting Marciano to the wrong corner? I wouldn't bet a dime, but surviving is easier than knocking someone out, and Pep is great with his feet.
The results would be even more a foregone conclusion if Willie actually owed Rocky money, as was the case some times.
I think Pep could probably run around the ring and spoil for three minutes. No three knockdown rule gives him some obvious options.
Interesting......would love to have seen this......1 round? I reckon Pep could keep out Marcianos path for 3 mins.
Can't be serious, marciano would have him out with a cuffed punch. I doubt the finest footwork avoids marciano running at you at full speed looking to take your head off. Maybe thomas hearns or something is a decent idea, but not a small punching featherweight.
