    Max Baer and Rocky Marciano both punched like hell, but who wins the pushing contest ?

    Baer would need more leverage than Rocky to exert his strength....he was a strong guy too.

    Baer very probably. He was huge.
    But, as already noted, Marciano had shorter levers so that helps for pushing/pressing.

    How huge was Baer? Certainly not as huge as his brother.

    Yeah, Buddy was bigger.

    Max had very broad shoulders, he appeared wide even with his big block head !

    Max was stronger than Buddy...could punch harder and had a better chin.
