    Potgieter by brutal one round stoppage. Marciano would try, but fail against the brutal beast that is Ewart.

    Marciano would have no choice but to go right after him and get him out as fast as possible no point in attempting to box whatsoever - nothing to worry about as far as this opponents speed and also there'd be little point in worrying to much about trying to land cominations on a head so high up - it would literally be a case of the Rock loading up with his Suzy Q and bomb and slug him with it one shot as hard as he could one at a time hit him as hard as he could with it until timber!!! Can't see it taking long for Suzy Q to register maybe one round or two rounds it would depend how good Ewarts chin was I guess but can't see how he could avoid that right hand he's just too big a target

    UREKA, I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS ONE!
    Back in 1942 a 5-10, 190pounder Chris Cole beat 7-2, 260 pounds Jim Cully in two rounds for the Irish Heavyweight title. Cully was down about seven times.
    Contrary to Boxrec it was not Jim's debut, he had a few wins under his belt.

    Sounds like a pretty unmissable target for Marciano. Early KO for the Rock.
