Rocky Marciano VS Mike Tyson.

[Verstyle]

simply put tyson will beat rocky

[Kid Achilles]

Tyson most likely stops Marciano early but it wouldn't be easy and he could sure as hell get caught and hurt badly himself. Anyone who thinks Tyson could take a Marciano right hand without reeling from it's power is a fool.

But yes, I agree that Tyson probably takes him based on superior quickness, upperbody and head movement, and size. Marciano never fought anyone like Tyson.

Then again, Tyson never fought anyone with more than a fraction of Marciano's balls, chin, and heart until he met an aged Holyfield, and we all know how that one went.

Still I have to go with Tyson who was a mercilously fast starter, had great head movement, and was significantly heavier than the Rock.

marciano is not slow. the fact that he had a 67" reach made his punches travel faster.

if marciano was so slow, how was he able to keep up with very fast guys like walcott, charles, moore?

now i know your biased towards marciano. marciano was the slowest fighter i've ever seen on film. he relied basically on brute strength his entire career.

he didn't really keep up with them. walcott, charles, and moore all have some of the worst chins in hw history, so it's no suprise that marciano beat them.

moore and charles had solid chins. in marciano's first fight with charles did you see the beating he took the last round. i could name 10 guys who wouldve got ko'd that round.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! i'm done! if moore and charles had solid chins, then someone like chuvalo must be god, right? get the heck out of here. moore makes floyd patterson look like david tua with his chin, the guy was ko'd by middleweights for crying out loud. and charles chin is not much better, look at how many times he's been knocked out by no name fighters.

well, there's not much i can say to a guy that claims that marciano was fast.

just because your a low weight class doesnt mean you cant hit.

now your just being unrealistic i've seen much slower fighters

and he is correct, Marciano did have decent speed, it was more noticable when he didn't have gloves on but see its not he was a slow fighter as much as how he fought

let me put it into terms you can understand- Ali was faster when he was younger cause he was always on his toes, but later he planted his feet and threw hard slower punches

same principle, when Marciano threw a jab it was usually a decent speed but his hook was slower but deadly

the fact is Marciano would swarm, and he had to be pretty good because if he wasn't he would have gotten beaten by counter-punchers

for your weight class yes. but when you move up your power will decrease, because you will be fighting bigger and stronger people with better chins, so it will be harder for you to hurt them with your punch then before.
