    Tyson in a horrific KO. Rock could take a shot and he would take a few too many from Iron Mike.

    Seems to me you are arguing that his way to win was to fight old *******s. Very Calzaghian way to win.

    I doubt the Mob would let this fight happen if it were the 50s. It would be a sad thing to see Marciano exposed, though he would give it all, his face would be a trainwreck after this fight.

    If marciano suvives the first 4 rounds we have the fight of the century on our hands... I would love to see that fight.

    No disrespect to Rocky's power at all. I think he could put Tyson on his ass early too. I just think Tyson's technique was beautiful and dangerous.

    The thing is though, at least for me, Tyson's career ended when Cus died. That's relevant because I don't know how good Tyson's stamina would hold up when he's properly motivated. Although, given the fact that I'm questioning Tyson's stamina at all is an issue for me.

    Rocky would die in the ring.

    Tyson would get charged with premeditated murder.

    pretty easy to give up when your lights get put out t/ko before 6 tyson to big/strong for the under 200pound rock rocky would be a Lh or less by today's standards he wouldn't walk thru mikes power 3 or 4 shot to land 1 he would get ko'd that way

    question is did rock ever fight anybody 220pounds and as fast and powerful as a 20yr old tyson and the answer is no rocky was tiny rock was a great champ but came along at the right time

    At 217 lbs, Tyson would be one of the heaviest guys Marciano faced.....and the fastest.

    don what does he do better then tyson to make you say that? rocky would be a LH in today's world or in mikes day he was very small and was a brawler begging to get hit i see noway for him to win and in all mike lose he took a beating to finish him buster had to basic beat him to death to ko him , and it was with lengh and tieing mike up in close if he had just stood there and traded he would have been kod in a rd or two, can you see rocky bulling a prime tyson who was 30pounds heavier ? faster and punched harder in both hands and a better defense ? i guess i don't understand your logic

    Marciano doesn't even beat a prime Joe Louis, let alone Tyson. Tyson crushes Marciano in less than 3 rounds. I can't imagine a scenario that doesn't involve a severe beating for Rocky. Too small and slow for Tyson.

    Tyson would annihilate Marciano. Absolute massacre. I wouldn't be surprised if Rocky didn't leave the ring alive.
