    Ive got a lot of love and respect for Rock, but honestly, he wont make it out of the first couple of rounds.

    Hes got no size advantage, jab, reach etc to keep Tyson off him.

    Yes he hits hard, but Tyson had a great chin.

    Tyson loves fighters who stand in front of him, he wouldnt have to go far to look for Marciano.

    Anyone Tyson fought who was the same size as him or smaller, he got rid of very quickly.

    Spinks, Frazier, Norris, none of them made it out of the first round. (although the Norris fight was a NC)

    Let's see,Tyson was light years faster in handspeed, quicker afoot,had better head movement ,fired shorter punches in combination, showed a better defence, had skin more resistant to cuts,,is battle proven against huge men that were big punchers,possessed a great uppercut,the kryptonite for the croucher,is physically bigger in every department,is 35pounds of muscle heavier,was appreciably more accurate with his punches, and had better balance?
    The only thing Marciano has going for him here is his complexion.
    It's a toughie.:think

    It will be like Foreman vs Frazier all over again.

    Although Marciano wont be getting up so many times.
