Marciano VS Dempsey (who u got)?

[WILL2WIN]

I think this would have been a great scrap. They both were tenacious,tough and very hard hitters.

I thought about this long and hard and i could honestly see it going either way but The ROCK was undefeated in an era of HOF'ers so i give the rock a slight advantage.

But i honestly can say i think they were both greats and salivate just thinking about this match up!

Both had huge hands (Huge Right Hands)... Both in my view the two most underrated heavyweights. I'd have to go with Marciano because of his underrated defense and chin. Dempsey in my view was a great boxer with a devastating right hand that would KO Ali and Klitchkos but Marciano would **** all 15 and would hold his own against huge punchers

Marciano started late in boxing and was too crude. Dempsey was the more skilfull slugger of the two.

I think its a war til the deep championship rounds, but Rocky stops him by brutal TKO, Dempsey was a great boxer, but Marciano had that chin that makes Margaritos chin look like Khan's chin, and hands that make Duran's hands look like Paulies.

Agreed... The big chance Dempsey does have is that enormous Right hand. If Dempsey could find a way to connect that punch on a consistent basis, it could be a close fight but Rocky I believe had a chin only is seen once a lifetime and really to this day can't think of many people with that type of chin. Dempsey is what #7 hardest punchers by ring mag, though I believe top 5 But with Marciano at what #14, though I believe he is top 10 if not top 5.

Rocky would demolish Dempsey. Stronger guy, and more low to the ground. The guy got leverage on punches like no one's business.

Obviously a toe to toe battle, and Marciano would decimate.

If Dempsey found The Rock's chin consistently over the course of the fights, he would crumble at some stage but I don't think this fight goes on all that long. Rocky was awkward, low and could hit as hard as the best of them. I think he'd take Dempsey out in 5 or 6, which is not to be disrespectful to one of the greats but Demspey's chin wasn't his best asset and he could be pressured. In terms of sheer bulk and physicality, Rocky would be the toughest guy to ever land on Dempsey and I'm just not sure if the Mauler could take it.

If anything Dempsey has an inch or two on Marciano and their styles are just about the same. Both come forward and both don't take a step back. Dempsey is very underrated wise of power and boxing skill... but I do give the better chin to Marciano

Rocky isn't 5'11. That's more than 4 inches shorter than Ali. Ali's 6'3.



That's what I'm saying. They both come forward, and don't take a step back. Rocky had more power, and a better chin. Also lower center of gravity, and could get more leverage on his punches in a toe to toe.
