What Would Tommy Morrison s Chances Be, Against Rocky Marciano?!

I enjoyed watching Morrison fight as you never really knew what would happen. He had ATG power and some good skills but his lack of stamina/chin against Rocky or almost any other ATG spells doom. Rocky in 3 or less.

 

1. Morrison taking Bentt lightly shows a stupidity heavyweight boxers can’t afford to have. He showed it multiple times and was able to overcome being hurt with a combination of his power and luck. See: Ruddock v Morrison. His power would not bail him out against Rocky’s chin.
2. He was up for the Lewis fight and was obliterated. He was up for the Mercer fight and Ray ate his soul. Being up for a fight and winning it are not the same thing. See: Marciano’s 49-0 record.

 

Punchers chance, thats about it. Marciano will find that wafer chin sooner or later

 

This .

 

Probably busts Rocky up early, then his momentum gets progressively grinded to a halt as Rocky keeps wearing him down relentlessly. Marciano by KO mid rounds.

 

Tommy is always going to stand a chance against anyone because punches always have a chance - they can change an entire bout with one blow.

 

Morrison wins with ease

 

2 reasons:
- some posters here are nostalgic and don't get the fact that a boxer doing well in one era is irrelevant to how he'd stack up to boxers from other eras
- some posters are nuts.
Morrison mops the floor with Marciano

 

Highly unlikely I submit.

He had power, but that is about it.

 

Actually, it's the most likely outcome. He's superior to Marciano in almost every possible way: speed, strength, skill, agility.
Only thing Marciano's got going for him is stamina, but that won't ever come into play, Morrison takes him out in 1 round.

 

Morrison takes Marciano out with just 1 punch

 

He is vastly inferior to Marciano in one critical department.

Chin.

Ridiculous.

How can you possibly predict that a man who was never stopped would get taken out in one round?

 

Cause the man who was never stopped faced weak competition, and never such a big one punch hitter like Morrison.
Cause the man who was never stopped is way smaller and less skilled.
