Rocky Marciano vs Mike Tyson both in there prime?

Question

Who wins

Answer 1

I dont know if there is anyone that can withstand Mike's loaded arm. I never saw a boxer that can hit so hard. I am not a big Tyson fan but I remember how dangerous he was when he was on his prime. i always routed for his opponents knowingly that they were going to lose.

Answer 2

wow what a match up , since im italian id go

with marciano although i saw tyson in his prime and think

he would clobber anyone including ali but i could be wrong

Answer 3

Another tough fight for Tyson!The allegations of Mike Tyson being a bully in previous  Q/A's  is nonsense,bully's invariably go out and SEARCH for smaller and weaker people,Mike Tyson fought against fighters who were huge in comparison to him,and I don't remember him ducking anyone,he fought and beat all in his way from 86-89,simple as that.I love Rocky Marciano,but there is a big weight advantage by Tyson,so lets say they fought at the same weight,in which case I cannot see a winner and Tyson fighting the Rock,Id have to go for a draw. Maybe if pushed give Marcianon extremely close points win over 15 rounds,but the fights I have of both these guys suggest it would be a close call.See James and the thumbs down gang are out before Id even finished typing!!why is it you give an opinion and pricks like James give it thumbs down?In these match ups no one person can be right,but clowns saying a 14st Marciano would KO a 16st titan like Tyson inside 2 rounds are idiots talking out there a'xse!oh,Ive just noticed were James gets his ideas from'one dimensional slugger'it's from his mentor Blogbabba,another self proclaimed'expert'who knows f-all.Seems to me the idea is to type a lot of meaningless S***e about a boxer then try and brow beat and bully others into submission,doesn't work with me James r Blogbabba!

Answer 4

Mike Tyson crushes Marciano within 3 rounds. (and thats only if Marciano can run that long)

Mike Tyson 5'11 230 lbs 71" reach

Rocky Marciano 5'10 188lbs, 64" reach

Mike Tyson was a defensive genius in his early days, power in both hands he knocked people out with one punch.  Tyson even though most of his opponants were 3 to 4 somtimes 6 inches taller could outjab all of them, and comming behind the bobin and weaving jabs followed a crushing uppercut or right or left hook that could lift guys off their feet. Tyson had an Iron chin and his only knockout losses came from exhaustion later in his career.

Marciano was a brawler who had an iron chin, a good right hand. But Marciano today wouldnt even be able to make the Heavyweight division without being horribly over weight. Marciano struggled when faced with the jab and in a handfull of fights had to get a come from behind knockout to win. Also alot of Marciano's opponants were hobo's who fought him for a free lunch, The name fighters he beat, Walcott and Moore, Ezzard Charles were all old washed up fighters and they gave him a good competitive fight, Moore who was a relativly light puncher floored Marciano with one punch.

Tyson was a student of the game, him and Cus Damottto would sit and watch Marciano, Robinson, Graziano, Moore and break them down studying them and learning their techniques and improving on them.

Im not a Tyson fan, and i have seen 3 or 4 of Marcianos fights, His defence is a good offence, but neither would have an affect on a 225 lb Tyson.

Tyson would run through Marciano within 2 or 3 rounds, and leave Marciano a heap on the canvase.

again this is evolution. Competition in those days was horrible, most fighters and even some champions were part time boxers and held down other jobs so they were horribly trained.

Marciano wouldnt have been dumb enough to step into the ring Mike Tyson. Hed get one look at Tyson and say "What the fu&* is that thing??? is that a boxer or a monster?"

Tyson was certainly a bully, Theres a style in boxing that is refered to as bullying. Its a comefoward wipping mean punches and bullying people around the ring. Tyson was a bully that was his style. It has nothing to do with who he fought or the quality of opposition, it simply referes to his boxing style which was the most exciting style to come along in decades.

Answer 5

i dont thnk mariciano fought anybody with mike tysons power punching and speed. i think marciano would win if he survived the early rounds but if he cant take mike tysons monster attack then he would be KO

Answer 6

marciano and tyson trade toe to toe for 4 rounds 'till marciano takes over and beats tyson till the end comes after 5 or 6 rounds.

Answer 7

Marciano in his prime meeting Tyson in Mike's prime  would have lasted all of about 2 minutes, and Marciano would have done in one what took Evander Holyfield 8 rounds to do. Rock would have exposed Mike Tyson for the overrated, one dimensional slugger he was, and KOed Iron Mike. Rock had more heart and more power than Holyfield he wouldn't have suffered from the fear most of Tyson's early opponents were paralyzed by. Mike wasn't used to someone who wasn't afraid of him, and Rocky didn't know the meaning of fear. If Buster Douglas could KO Mike, and Mike could quit against the likes of Kevin McBride, Marciano would have easily and quickly exposed Mike's true nature.

Bully's lose quickly when you stand up to them, and Rock was a stand up guy.

:Marciano by KO inside of one round.
