    In a 12 round fight, Tyson by decision. In a 15 round fight, Marciano by late TKO or decision.

    Marciano would walk through Tyson's punches but I see him falling behind in the first 6 rounds, maybe even losing them all before coming on in the latter half of the fight. In a 12 round fight, it'd probably be too little too late. In a 15 round fight, Marciano's stamina would come into play and he'd be able to win a close decision or even knock Tyson out late.

        weight? tyson 215-rocky 185
        reach? tyson 74-rocky 69

        skills
        handspeed? tyson
        speed? tyson
        power? tyson

        everything goes tyson's way with chin i'll judge even. please don't bring up tyson's heart. you don't try to get up while pawing for his mouthpiece from the beating buster gave him without having heart.

          Hurt against OLD Louis, OLD Archie Moore, OLD Ezzard Charles, couldnt beat LaStarza convincingly...
          He beat them all. Tyson got KOed. You say old, but they weren't...Larry Holmes and Michael Spinks were older, in fact Tyson got Spinks out of retirement.

          He KOed La Starza 2nd time around, how is that not convincing?
