The thing that no one here understands is Rock would take a beating for 14 rounds and still find a way to win. And someone who doesn't know how to lose is a scary man!

Originally posted by SkydogSeeing a smaller opponent in front of him, Mike would be frothing at the mouth for a “wam-bam, thank you, sir” kind of knock-out. Once the leather started flying, however, Mike would realize most of his hooks were sailing over the Rock’s head. At 5’ 11”, Mike has very rarely faced an opponent that was shorter than himself, so this situation would require some adjustments. Given Rocky’s willingness to trade, it wouldn’t be long before Mike would be throwing that right to the body, right uppercut to the head combination, sending a spray of sweat from Rocky’s black locks as the on-looking crowd Oooos and Owwws with every bone-jarring shot.
Tough as Rocky is, there is no way he could take this kind of brutal assault for fifteen rounds. Somewhere around the third or fourth, Mike would put together a four-punch combo and drop the Rock with a left hook that would send him sprawling backwards three or four feet. Surprisingly, the Italian would get up, cover himself a little better and survive the remainder of the round as most of Mike’s finishers catch arms and air. Not used to having an opponent come to him, Mike finds his punches being smothered pretty regularly by the crouching in-fighting Marciano, who is constantly pounding Mike’s ribcage and forearms, while most of Mike’s return volley ricochet off the Rock’s shoulders.
Occasionally, Mike will catch Rocky with a good one and the crowd responds, holding their breath for the inevitable; but it doesn’t come. As the fight rages on, Mike’s staccato bursts are fewer and fewer in number as he settles for throwing one or two punches at a time while Marciano labors on in a blue collar-style, catching Mike on the chin more and more as the head-movement becomes all but absent. Finally, somewhere around the 13th, Marciano catches Mike in the ribs with a brutal left hook, sending the bigger man to one knee. Rising at the count of eight, Mike is gasping for air like a fish on a sandbar. Smelling blood, Rocky wades in amidst desperation shots and drops Mike again with a volley of body blows, uppercuts, and overhand rights. Knowing he’s done, the referee rescues Mike from further punishment with thirty seconds to go in the round.

Next time, come up with your own conclusions. Otherwise, it just makes you look like an arse.

After taking almost a two-year lay-off Holmes came back to challenge Mike Tyson for the world title. Holmes hadn’t prepared properly and when Tyson was at the top of his game, the result was not a real fight at all.============
** Holmes was a gym rat. He never got out of boxing shape. The man made Holy and McCall look bad in the ring well into his 40s. NOBODY ever KOed him but Tyson and Larry fought in 2 more decades after that fight in 4 total decades of 75 bouts. Spinks was never down as a heavyweight until the Tyson fight and I don't think he was ever down as a LH either.
Facts is facts and those are two highly ranked HOFers on any list!

Originally posted by butterfly1964tyson would trounce marciano in 20 to 25 seconds. marciano would be in and out in no time. tyson never lost to someone smaller than him, prime or not, so a prime tyson would by no means be challenged by someone weighing 180 or so lbs.

tyson would ko marciano because tyson handspeed is to fast and his power is not as good as rocky but tyson does hit hard and marcian chin is not that good he got floored by archie moore. so basiclly tyson is better than marciano in every way except heart, power and stamina.
the fight would last 9-10 rounds
