Prime vs. Prime
Tyson was just to big...strong...and fast for marciano
I read people saying stuff like Marciano would back down and never quit and things like he would knock mike"the bully" tyson out..!!!!
And that marciano wouldnt be scared of tyson!!!
In reality marciano would look at tyson from across the ring at the opening bell and piss his pants from fear!!!!
NO DISRESPECT TO MARCIANO HE WAS A GREAT CHAMP
I like Marciano a lot but i can't see him beating Tyson at all. Lets not forget that Marciano didn't have much defense, he took a lot of punches and won his fights by out lasting his opponents and always moving forward and throwing punches. No doubt Marciano had a good chin, but would he be able to take Tyson's best punches for a long time?
I doubt anybody could.
Tyson lost to men much bigger than him.
I seriously cannot see anybody Tyson's size beating him, much less somebody MUCH smaller than him!
I know Frazier got eaten up by Tyson,imgaine against Marciano.
every fighters scared ...its the courage that overcomes the fear ...he could fear him and over come it with courage easily ..absolutely no way marciano fears tyson thow...ask tyson himself ...he wishes he was marciano ..and the 3 rounds? no way tyson would get tkoed in the 14th or 15th ..back then they were 2 tough

Marciano being scared or not wouldn't matter, IMO. That whole thing with Tyson is blown out of proportion. Yeah, you have to fight to win and not be too scared, of course, but you also need the ability and style to win the fight.
Other guys weren't scared, or didn't fight like they were scared, but still lost to Tyson because they didn't have the ability/style to beat him.
Marciano gets too much venom on the boards for my liking. He may have not been in a talented era, but he for the most part beat the best guys around him, and gave rematches to the guys he beat who gave him hell (unlike guys like Holmes and DLH), and won the rematches decisively.
But here, I don't like his chances. At all.
I don't like Marciano's chances.
Yeah, Tyson gets discouraged and impatient (too often looks for one bomb rather than setting up the big shots), but guys like Douglas and Holyfield were different stylistically. They had the styles (and size) to outbox him from the outside, use their jabs, clinch up close, push him around, etc...
Marciano in his prime would be giving up a good 30 lbs on Tyson. For once, Tyson would actually not be at a reach disadvantage.

Co-sign. Tyson by KO.
Thinking about all the bums who beat tyson, I give Marciano a good shot at beating tyson. ****ing quit against the irish fat lard... Don't give a shit if it wasn't his prime, that is just shit when you give up to that fat lard.
Don't give a shit what anyone else says either, Buster Douglass is a bum, a bum who fought a lot better then he normally does against tyson, but a bum none the less.
If Buster Douglas and Evander Holyfield stood up to Mike Tyson and didn't fear him, I'm pretty sure Marciano could. I'm not saying he would beat Mike, but he would definietly not fear him.
Marciano would stand up to him but would be scared shitless
