    Yes. Though Baer is a tough one, the Rock outworks him.

    Yes. I’d favor Marciano to go undefeated.

    I favor all of them against him but Marciano probably should come away with 1 win against Galento, Mann and Ettore.

    Baer could be tough for Rocky. Strangely enough I think Carnera might surprise some here , the size and strength difference is massive and it could be more competitive than some think

    Sharkey and Baer are the ones he loses to. He can get a win from Sharkey but it can go either way.

    Marciano had nowhere the longevity that Louis had.

    Marciano was on top of the mountain for a few years where as Louis dominated for a decade.

    In a realistic scenario if Marciano had to fight all those opponents in real time and not a fantasy scenario where he doesn't age or has no wear a tear then Marciano definitely wouldn't stay undefeated.

    I think Max Baer has the best chance of taking the zero, but I think Rocky goes 6-0 here.

    Interesting thing here is Carera gives him the best fight .... then Baer ... Galemto would be a fun half dozen rounds ....

    Primo Carnera is 8 inches taller than Rocky with a whopping 16 inch reach advantage and out weighs Marciano by at least 75 pounds.
    It's not as easy as some Rocky fans think it would be

    Yeah, I favor Marciano over Carnera. However, Carnera's size and Marciano's style could make this a tough fight for Rocky.
