Rocky Marciano vs these 4 boxing movers

IMHO Gene Tunney would have a chance to win on points and the others would lose to Rocky.

 

I agree, if Tunney could avoid Dempsey he could avoid Marciano,,maybe.

 

Mixed up Tommy Farr and Loughran.
Beats Pastor and Farr, loses to Conn and Tunney.

 

Beats Conn, Pastor and Farr but loses to Gene

 

Tunney would beat him theres a higher chance he goes 0-4 than 4-0. Probably goes 1-3 or 2-2. Pastors the only one I'd favor Marciano to beat.

 

You rank Farr over Pastor h2h?

 

Pastor LOL. Can’t think of an opponent more tailor made for Marciano.

 

yikes.

Marciano is the rings ultimate animal against men under 190lb and would massacre any older generation fighters who used the St Paul boxing style

 

I think he would be a threat to anyone around that weight and below, I don't share the sentiment of calling him the mini Liston of boxing to compensate for not favoring him against heavier men.
33 year old Charles who was on the cusp of being washed up (1956 Charles was just awful), 38 year old Walcott, 40 year old Moore and Don Cockell are not the pinacle of the sub 200 lbs.
Considering that Billy Conn was beating up a guy for 12 rounds who was Marciano's superior in every aspect makes me think that not only could he replicate that type of performance against Marciano, but Marciano would not be able to turn the tables around the way Louis did.
Conn's best win at HW matches Marciano's best. Knocking out a prime Pastor is nothing to scoff at, Bob would be the best or second best scalp on Marciano's resume had he fought him.

Tunney is pretty self explanatory. Terrific jab/cross, great legs, tied up immediately on the inside and twice dominated a guy who was close enough to Marciano.

 

Beat me to it. Generally, I do not hold Marciano in high regard for head-to-head.

 

Don't get me wrong, Conn and Tunney would have the lumps to show they were in a fight afterwards, but I don't agree with the logic of overcompensating for undervaluing Rocky against heavier guys so as to call him the crusher of practically everybody around and below his weight.

 

Sure, same as you can reasonably favor Pastor to beat each one of them decisively.
Charles lost to Layne, Valdez, Johnson and Walcott between 1952 and 1954.
Walcott lost to Layne.
Pastor at the end of his career beat Bivins who beat younger versions of Moore and Charles. Prime Pastor would give all three of these guys a run for their money.

 

Not by a lot but generally yeah.
