These fighters vs Rocky Marciano

No chance. I also think they would take a sever beating & very well could come out of the bout as a ruined fighter.

Can you picture Eddie attempting to keep up with this guy's workrate? His gastank would be way down after 3 rounds. And Rocky just hitting his stride.

We have a recent thread about fighters that did not step on the gaspedal. Eddie was a poster boy for this. A reference for it. Problem is the opponent is the 180 degree opposite.

 

Marciano beats them .

 

Marciano is 180 lbs.



180 lbs brickwall.

 

Yeah,180+ lbs of a brickwall.

 

Qawi gives him the most problems out of all of them as he’s sneaky with the counters, great at baiting opponents and has a good defence, but ultimately I see Marciano not having to respect him and grinding him down, pushing him into the corner and hitting him wherever he can, body, arms, face and Qawi eventually wouldn’t be able to keep up, Marciano’s output would remain the same throughout as Qawi’s would be deteriorating, his feet, reflexes, speed etc would be deteriorating because he’d be forced to work constantly and Marciano would be tagging him more and more.
Marciano batters and stops Saad early-mid rounds, he’s wouldn’t be able to miss with that little push followed up by the uppercut, he’d bully Saad, go to the body, land powerful rights over Saad’s left as he misjudges the distance, it’d be brutal.
Mustafa Muhammad would potentially make it tricky, but I see it as similar to the Qawi fight in that, his feet, speed and reflexes gradually slow as Marciano’s output remains the same as he gradually lands more and more to stop him.

 

Marciano win against all of them

 

Qawi would savage Marciano. Too much skill, too mean, too tough. Better at all ranges. No size disadvantage for Qawi which would be tremendous for him even though he thrived in using his short stature to get under shots. Marciano would be the slower, less technical, and in my opinion less vicious fighter. Qawi would see the shots coming and feed Marciano brutal punches until he secured a late standing stoppage.

 

I didn’t read the description properly, I was breaking down how Marciano vs Saad would go, now that I realise, I think Marciano would probably deal with Marvin Johnson even easier, Johnson isn’t slick, doesn’t have a great defence and doesn’t even have the longer punches to at least try to fall back and time Marciano as he close the distance which Saad has, Marvin Johnson would be a sitting duck for Marciano, as would Saad, but at least he’d be able to jab and time Marciano with something as Marciano would have to close the distance, Johnson would have to fight in the pocket where he’d get bullied and destroyed.

 

Ls. Levels. Rocky goes from dramatically overrated by his fans and dramatically underrated by his detractors.

 

Marciano across the board.

 

Qawi is the guy to give Marciano more troubles.
His jab, mixed with his counterpunching skils, are gonna exact a heavy toll on Rocky. Furthermore, Qawi is tough and skilled in close combat, thus he won't shy away from an inside war. Rocky is gonna has all the brawling he can handle.

After a savage battle, Marciano prevails by late stoppage. But Rocky's face tells an ugly story.

Johnson and Muhammad are just cannon fodder for the Rock.
