Prime Rocky Marciano vs Prime Mike Tyson

[Mooshashi]

With such a weight advantage...30 pounds and none of it fat...there is a good chance that Tyson comes in very fast and active and overwhelms Rocky early. There is a smaller chance that Rocky weathers the storm and gradually wears down an increasingly discouraged Mike and wins by late TKO.

I am assuming this is a 15 rounder.

So...70/30 , a win for Iron Mike.

- -And for the record, I've always favored Tyson, but this thread typical in fanboy limitations the conditions of the fight are never given.

Fighters don't fight without a contract stating those conditions...Duh!

I was just thinking about that actually... It becomes absurd for example, if we consider, would some of the naysayers feel different if Marciano put on another 30 pounds? he was known, as most fighters of that era, to come in as light as possible. The guy was known to chew his steak and spit it out when training for fights.

So in Marciano's mind, if he fights Tyson, he wants to come in the lighter the better...meanwhile the most often cited reason why most believe Tyson would crush him is that he was so much lighter than Tyson...

The idea that a fighter or any athlete for that matter who retired in the mid 50's could compete against 80's athletes in any capacity is even more laughable.

Ray Robinson would destroy any fighter today.......

You are absolutely a complete moron.

[Lomadeaux]

Now I understand your handle. You have the brain of a Hippo, stud.

Yeah, Robinson could not compete with Canelo, you bonafide halfwit.

Lol thank you.....

[Lomadeaux]

Too verbose and asinine for my taste.

You mean too true for your taste..

[them_apples]

Lol thank you.....

robinson was 100 times the fighter canelo was lol

[The Old LefHook]

Robinson would put Canelo on the butcher's block. Speed disparity kills!

Tyson would have too many advantages over Marciano. 70/30 sounds about right.

Maybe overly generous, actually. Perhaps 80/20.

- -If you study boxing instead of emoting like a 13 yr old girl, you'd understand that Loma never over swings wildly.

Even Robby had his limits in Maxim that he was lucky to live thru.

At age 29 he made his last welter title defense before moving to middle. 29 yr old Canelo been weighing in on FightNite 170-180 range, two div above Robby, but let's not spoil it for our resident crustaceans reflexively letting fly projectile loose opinions absent any Qualifying logic.

No matter, a star is a star no matter the era the fates may cast him, so Robby with his telegenic looks and style would reap a small fortune as he did in his day.

You've come far. See how great your posts can be, when you simply decided to "Adult"?

I am truly proud.
