- I talk a little bit about how i think a fight between Rocky Marciano and Mike Tyson would go, Remember that everyone is free to there opinion and even though i believe this is how it would happen that does not mean it would.. please share your thoughts below
Marciano was the greatest Light Heavy weight to have ever fought in the heavyweight division!
You obviously don't know the weigh parameters. Either that or you're just stupid.
@@yankee2666 I think the guy is just stupid. Lots of that going around these days. Thank you for an intelligent comment.
More like light heavyweight who fought blown up middleweights. .
If Tyson doesn't knock Marciano out after 3 rounds it's all Marciano. For Marciano and Joe Frazier the first 3 rounds were for warming up.
@@yankee2666 I don’t know why you’re saying this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about because Rocky Marciano was a light heavyweight boxer he didn’t fight that much people at all maybe two that were over 200 pounds when he fought in the 185 pound division so Mike Tyson for bigger and stronger people He got hit harder so when people say Mike Tyson don’t have chin and Rocky Marciano does it makes me laugh because Rocky Marciano never fought tough people like Mike Tyson did apparently you don’t know your boxing Rocky Marciano wouldn’t of lasted that long probably with Mike Tyson why are you ask Mike Tyson was bigger stronger faster more skilled had sidestep Rocky Marciano did not have that he did not have the head movement he did not have the hooks or the upper cuts that Mike Tyson has Mike Tyson coming back into the ring for his age he’s in pretty good shape now if I’m right Muhammad Ali fort Rocky Marciano when Rocky Marciano was 45 he was in decent shape so was Mike Tyson at 45 now look at Mike Tyson at his age he still doing great who knows what’s in store for him when he goes in the ring and the fighters he’s going to fight before you tell somebody they don’t Know what they’re talking about no your history know what you’re talking about oh yeah to top it off Rocky Marciano use 3 to 4 ounce gloves the regulations on gloves were different back then Mike Tyson used 8 ounce gloves it was hard for him to knock people out and he still didn’t could you imagine Mike Tyson with 3 to 4 ounce gloves he will never lost and Mike Tyson for people that had a lot more skill Rocky Marciano was like Boris the bear in Cinderella man swinging crazy He was not that accurate With his punches like Mike Tyson he did not have combinations Like Mike Tyson a lot of boxers back then just went in the ring and just went up to somebody and they swung their game plan was different boxers now have more of a game plan they’re more skilled boxers back then for boxers that really didn’t know what they were doing so they had a lot of wins on bomb fighters We’re boxers great that then yes You can’t compare them to the boxers now yes they’re shorter rounds but that’s for a reason after a while you get brain damage look at Muhammad Ali he got hit a lot when people say he didn’t he did the rope a dope didn’t do that much for him sad to say when people say Muhammad Ali would beat Mike Tyson just think of it this way Muhammad Ali had a problem with Fraser. Fraser would have a problem with Mike Tyson Mike Tyson was definitely the fastest and strongest heavyweight in his prime nobody was taking him he went through a lot of things in his life that changed him mentally so for him to come back in the boxing and do it everything he’s doing it’s amazing one boxer at his age that could beat any boxer in a street fight easily the ring I know it’s a different story but Mike Tyson has a chance with anybody in the ring and nobody else can say otherwise
Huge fan of a young Tyson, and the destruction he wrought in his youth while he was still motivated and looked after by D'Amato and Rooney. But Marciano is this truly mythical being. His stamina, granite chin and will to win are immeasurable, he would find his way to beat you and there's nothing you could do about it. Rocky aswell had an underrated defence. Look up some footage of the man, and what he does with his hands and his movement. Rocky was undefeated for a reason.
I agree my favorite fight is rocky and Jersey Joe Walcott 1
Marciano fought against old washed up fighters, Joe Louis was an old man forced to come out of retirement only to be humiliated by the bum Marciano. No way could Marciano beat Tyson, this racist man talking is an IDIOT, George Foreman would literally kill Marciano within 2 seconds.
Marciano didn't even fight young fighters around during his time, he avoided Floyd Patterson, Ingamar Johnson, Cassius Clay and Sunny Liston... etc, because Marciano knew he would lose, further more the gangster and the Mafia wouldn't allow it.
I happen to be Italian Irish lineage and have always been around guys who SWORE by Rocky and as i got educated in the art and a bit older I also am a believer- best fighter ever no doubt
@Bobby d What planet are you on, everyone knows that when Joe Louis fought against Marciano he was old, washed up and bald. Joe Louis was World Boxing Champion in the 1930's, When Joe Louis fought against Marciano this was in the 1950's, wake up you clown..
Even when Joe Louis fought against Ezzard Charles, everyone could see that Joe Louis was finished. If the bun Marciano was good, he would have fought against younger fighters, Ingama Johnson, Floyd Patterson, Sunny Liston, etc. instead the Mafia matched Marciano with a whole bunch of old washed up fighters in order to make the bum Marciano look good.
Marciano was offered $1 Million Dollars cash in his pocket to come out of retirement to fight against the loud mouth Cassius Clay in the early 1960's, Marciano went into tough training, he pulled out at the last minute, making up excuses, Marciano knew who later became the Greatest would whip his arse.
Tyson would dog rocky, he’s too big and fast and strong, his movements were too clean, rocky would have gotten kod because of Tysons countering capabilities.
Marciano had more heart by far.
Agree
True
Between his heart his chin and is very heavy fist you put him in today's boxing give them today's training and all that s*** he would be unstoppable nobody could beat him they couldn't beat him then and he was fighting guys that were 40 50 lb heavier than him.
@@davidattalin7073 I box and that's a damn lie the no boxer believes that only fans 😅😅🤣 rocky would be the bottom of the barrel in today's boxing or anything beyond his era
@@brandonpayton9068 you're just saying that because he's white and that's the only reason that man and today's boxing would probably be wreck anybody especially taking in consideration the type of conditioning and training that he would be able to receive.
Every time Tyson went down he stayed down.No one kept Rocky down.Marciano for the win.
Sumeetbhenga Suree ur saying it urself u delusional kid. put down by 2 light heavyweights, he’s never put down by heavy heavyweights, he could fight for 20 rounds, it’s obvious you didn’t watch his fights from beginning to the end. mike tyson was unbelievable but so was marciano, it would be a close fight, marciano could beat them all, but they all could also have a chance of beating him, it’s all at that night.
@@valentino5699 you skipped a key phrase “2 old light heavyweights”
Chris Butler he was old himself, and the other "old" guys admitted they couldn't beat him, so yeah i get what you mean but sadly for you, i did my research.
@Al Marcel marciano indeed weighed about 190lbs, but he won against everyone that was heavier and bigger than him. i’m sure he would’ve trained hard to fight fury and have his own strategy, being bigger is an advantage, but advantages are there to be challenged. it would be a great match, but i doubt that tyson would win against marciano. marciano was a smart fighter, so is tyson ofcourse, but marciano isn’t dumb to get caught easily. it’s a matchup that we’ll never see, but without any doubts, would be one of the best fights ever.
@@valentino5699 marcuano was a cruiserweight at best. He beat no one as big as tyson
Buster Douglas Ko'd Mike. Rocky Kills him.
Yeah a prime mike tyson had breath taking speed, punching power, stamina, defense and technique. It would be a close fight because Rocky had the greatest chin and will power... he punches pretty damn hard also.
WTF?........Tyson in 2
@@WZ912 tyson in a half a round 😂😂😂😂
@Cj Rocky Marciano Never got in the ring with somebody that hit as hard as Mike Tyson he never got in the ring with somebody that actually gave him an actual challenge Mike Tyson has Mike Tyson has chin I don’t care what anybody says Just because he lost before doesn’t mean he doesn’t have chin Rocky Marciano would’ve been Hit harder than he’s ever been hit before if he thought Holyfield or Lenix Lewis or Riddick Bowe or any of those heavyweight boxers The best years for the heavyweight boxers wasn’t back then at the time of Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield those were the greatest boxers not saying Rocky Marciano wasn’t a great boxer and Dempsey wasn’t a great boxers but when you have Lenix Lewis Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson there’s no comparing want era what is the best back in the day boxers weren’t the best with their combos in their feet skills moving around the ring and the side step in the upper cuts in the hooks they were very sloppy and they went in there and they clobbered people they wouldn’t last that long in the ring nowadays the boxes techniques I’ve got a lot more advanced look at the way Mike Tyson moved the way he sidestepped he would’ve threw Rocky Marciano off when he went sidestepping and then just an uppercut him A different angle or even just a hook from a different angle You have to put all that in fact when you’re talking about boxing really think about it before you comment back
@Cj how old was lewis when he fought Marciano? he was a shadow of his former self
You need to understand that chin hasn’t been touched by someone 220lbs….fighters back then barely tipped the scale at 205lbs . Rocky was 190….thats literally a slower cruiserweight going up against a faster stronger heavyweight
Rocky Marciano's unbeaten record 49 wins out of 49 bouts; 43 by knockouts; is hard to argue with. He should be listed among the greatest heavyweights of all time. He was elected to the Boxing Hall of Fame in 1959.
His ELO is 4. after Muhammed Ali and Joe Louis and Holyfield.
Marciano,Stronger,tougher,more durable-better chin.Rocky Wins.
Beelzebub Yes,so True.
He can you gauge strength without physical test rock fought fighters that would be considered light heavy a today marciano stronger than Lewis klisco foreman Frazier he smaller why would he be stronger
Incorrect.
@@johnroach1101 rocky's suzie q literally hits at 2000 psi higher than mike tyson's 1800 psi
The problem is Tyson had the benefit of decades of improvements in technique and training. Turn Rocky into a modern fighter which would only make him an even more powerful, devastating puncher with even more endurance and there's no question Tyson's in trouble.
Tyson took peds.He lost to anyone that was halfway decent.He has no chance.
deluded.
Angry Grizzly where is the actual evidence and proof of mike failing a drug test due to ped use?
scarface 38 Even when he fought Tyson?
Rocky Marciano would have taken Mike Tyson easily, and also Mohammad Ali. Rocky Marciano would have throw too many body shots to both, which would have proven to be major damage to both fighters.
Simply put, The Real Rocky Marciano was the best Boxer in history! Rocky fought with gloves that had no cushion and could punch harder, and withstand way more pain and punishment that Mike Tyson or Ali both could ever endure!
Rocky hands down,Douglas and Evander punked Mike, Rocky would have killed him
Rocky was tougher then Mike
I agree
Marciano retired 49-0, that in it's self should speak volumes. Back in Marciano's day, boxing was the sport that everyone wanted to be the champion in, boxing had the popularity that the NFL has today and every fighter was a world class athlete unlike in today's boxing. Not every fighter Tyson got in the ring with was a true contender unlike the fighters Marciano faced in every one of his fights (except when he got in the right with an over the hill Joe Lewis)..Marciano with some modern day training could without a doubt beat Tyson, and since I am a big Tyson fan I will add that Tyson has what it would take to beat Marciano. I believe it would be a very entertaining fight!
And who these “top contenders” the Marciano fought
Get real, Marciano stands no chance whatsoever.
Great point

@Scotty 2 Hotty an old joe Louis after the war and when he came back to fight for money stop. He wouldn’t last 2 mins against a prime Joe Louis
@Scotty 2 Hotty laugh at the truth
Surprisingly, Don Turner, a current top trainer, trained Klitchisko and others. He said Rocky Marciano was the hardest hitter ever, he could really fight, and would have beat Klitkishko’s , Tyson, or any of the current heavyweights.
Joe Louis said he never could have beat Rocky, even in his prime.
Even Ali said he didn’t know if he could beat Marciano.
Since he was better than Frazier, and Frazier gave him a lot of trouble.
I’d say Tyson would have to go for a quick lucky knockout of Rocky.
Otherwise they go toe to toe.
Neither can backup.
But Tyson can’t fight on the inside, where Marciano excels.
Holyfield exposed Tyson for that.
Tyson couldn’t take Holyfield’s body shots either, which put Tyson down once and crippled Tyson as the fight went on.
Rocky would do the same.
But with more power.
It would be a shorter fight than Holyfield’s destroying Tyson.
Hahahahaha
On any given day Marciano by mere internal power and motivation could have beaten any of them.
ANTHONY DEMAYO It will take more than a day for a slow awkward cruiserwieght who bleeds easily to take down the top 10 best HW fighters of all time. I don't know whats wrong with you guys but find another hero . It ain't happening in the HW division and deep down you know it.
Ted Carter Ohh look, another racist who doesn't give the Rock his due because HE WHITE. Get off of Obummers pole......
That Retroholic “I don’t know what’s wrong with you guys, but find another hero”. That statement speaks volumes. TC is and many on here denouncing Rocky’s ability are RACIST, plain and simple.
@@Lucille69caddy I'm a black dude, and of course we know what he meant by the hero comment 🤣🤣🤣. F it man. We are men, there will always be competition amongst us, race adds to it.
I dont think just wanting it more makes you stronger and faster. That's the movie stuff. Kobe wanted to win more than Shaq, but he couldn't be 7'1 300 plus lbs bc of it.
After watching all of Marciano's fights numerous times , and I'm a huge Mike Tyson fan also, but don't know that we'll ever see a fighter with a harder head and sheer super human determination as Rocky Marciano. Size didn't matter he hit like a sledgehammer. One of the most convincing testimonies as to Rocky's abilities was the statement the great Archie Moore made, Archie fought Ali and Marciano and Archie said he had rather fight Ali 10 times than to ever get in the ring with Rocky Marciano again. Wow. Rocky damaged a fighter's arms so badly he required surgery on one of his arms. He burst the blood vessels in the arms of every fighter he fought in varying degrees. Who punches harder than that?
Uhh marciano never fought anyone as young and powerful as tyson. He beat oldies past their prime. Tyson would destroy him
I believe Iron Mike would feel Marciano more that any other's punch.
Its unreasonable to compare Rocky with the big PED users of today.....but pound for pound Rocky is still one of the greats.
What's that got to do with Tyson!?
Uh any actual evidence Tyson used peds?

Marciano wins this.
2 different generations of boxers and different training. No one could beat Rocky , but it would be a nasty fight.
Is Marciano really slow? I see a tremendous acceleration of punching power, and here is where his short reach is actually advantage. Relentless. Anyway, it's impossible to compare two athletes from different ages and eras: one must respect their accomplishments within their own times.
Rocky would be the victor.
Yes.
Yes
a bleeding Marciano wins by 11th round KO. just as he always did. Tyson had questionable character, and that would have been his downfall in this epic clash.

That is 100 percent correct. I love Marciano ,Tyson, and Frazier. 3 of my favorite fighters and I worship Marciano but Foreman would have rolled right over him. It would have been similar to the Frazier fight. I think Tyson Marciano is a toss up. If it goes past 6 than Marciano wins by ko.
I would put my money on Rocky Marciano win over Tyson.
Marciano started fighting at 25 years old…frickin legend.
Both brawlers but I think Rocky has more heart. Tyson never fought descent oponents.
but Tyson beat more prime fighters than Marciano Marciano fought old men and Joe Louis was only fighting for money that wasn't the same Joe Louis from 10 years ago at that time he can't beat Joe Louis at his best Ezzard Charles beat Joe Louis a year before Marciano he never beat a prime fighter and Archie Moore was old already so he is overrated but he can punch only from one side of the plate
Marciano never lost a single fight had a punch that was legendary. Marciano would win 🏆
Tyson was just a modern version of rocky or jack dempsey 😂....
What? How and why? What are their similarities?
😂
I can agree with this actually if you actually look at the stance of Tyson and the fighting style of Marciano you can find a lot of common ground I believe the trainers of Tyson taught him a lot of Marciano's technique but the one thing Tyson didn't have that Marciano did have was heart and toughness... And buy this let me clarify Tyson did have heart and toughness but not near the level of Rocky Marciano the guy could take a beating and just keep going beating Marciano was never done and he was a brawler type of fighter he wasn't the let's sit back and wear my opponent down and avoid all the hits like Ali and Mayweather no he was the type of fighter that stayed right on top of your ass for 15 straight rounds he didn't get tired he didn't get hurt he just f***** you up.

@@bamaraffle8785 lol no they werent, prime ezzard charles and old joe louis would sweep up all of tyson's competition, that goes with old larry holmes too
Marciano comes out on top a winner yet again.
I think it is will and determination that wins fights rather than more technical issues like size,speed, power etc. I think we all agree that no one except maybe Ali had the heart of Marciano. If Marciano could survive the early onslaught as I suspect he would then he would be able to put something on Tyson that would earn his respect. I'm sure Rocky would go down at some point but we can be pretty sure that he'd get up again and fight back. As the fight wears on then Tyson tends to become discouraged if the other guy isn't giving up. I sense that your prediction of a late stoppage to Marciano could be accurate. I also believe the size difference would be immaterial. It would come down to guts and determination. Technically I rate the skill, speed and power of Tyson superior to Marciano but not the guts / determination which the Rock had in spades.
lol, Tyson will KO him under 2 rounds, and in the post fight interview, the only words rocky Marciano will say is "what a heck was that? " literally, the guy will not know what hit him. mike Tyson 's speed and power will be too much for him to handle

Agree completely & BTW doesn't matter how big you are if you get hit in the head.
Well I appreciate that Marciano was not the most skilled elegant boxer don't forget Tyson didn't have a much of a jab & wasn't much of a defensive fighter. How well could he do fighting off the ropes? Not sure Tyson had more power either. Tyson had the speed advantage I agree!
Marciano might be able to beat the 39 year old Mike Tyson. But even the shitty Tyson that got out of Prison would still beat Marciano.
Marciano puts him down easier than Douglas did.
Marciano got knocked down by weaker punches then tyson. Tyson kos him
Sexy Dudeuk bullshit, rocky got knocked down only twice in his life and got up and won the fight, can’t say the same for tyson tbh
I'm a huge Marciano fan I was also a huge Tyson fan but if you could put these two guys in the ring while both were in their prime Tyson would win by KO in the first or second round. I will explain why. Rockys fights were long and hard he had the crouching style but still didn't slip punches well. Tyson on the other hand was a master at slipping punches and making the other guy miss. If you notice in most of his fights he didn't get hit much. So I have to give the defensive edge to Tyson. Now for offense even though they have similar power Tyson has a huge edge because rockys style lends itself to one of mikes best punches the right uppercut. So I have mike winning easily by mid round two. Remember styles make fights.
You make a good point about Tyson's defense. Tyson was a better defensive fighter than Marciano.
Styles makes fights and slow slugger always win against swarmers!Foreman/Frazier,Liston/Patterson,Baer/Schmmeling...

@@antiteroristickejedinicepo4830 ....he has to be able to land it first. And he wouldn't
Yes ! Marciano would win.
Marciano easily! The original Italian Stallion.
Why so sure? I think Marciano hits as hard as Mike & can take more punishment. Agree completely that Tyson is a fast puncher but only in the early rounds. If Marciano gets inside he will do very well against Tyson. Marciano has an iron chin & if he hits Tyson he will hurt him! Could go either way but Marciano's iron will, iron chin & heavy duty punch make me believe he would triumph.
Rocky had an iron chin but got knocked down by 38/39 year old sub 200 lb fighters (Moore and Walcott). Mike also had an underrated jab that would've made it very hard for Rocky to even get inside. What people don't realize is there weren't many heavyweights in Marciano's era who had Tyson's athletic ability so it's hard to find a decent frame of reference in the 50s. I just can't see how Rocky with his extreme physical limitations would overcome what prime Tyson would bring into the ring. Also remember, Tyson was getting beat up by Buster Douglas and he found something inside of him to almost knock him out, so people shouldn't minimize Tyson's ability to dig deep if he needed to. I think it would be a good fight, but in spite of Tyson being a small heavyweight, he was still way bigger than any of Marciano's toughest opponents except for Louis (who was 37 years old when they fought).
D P Agree.Marciano Wins.
He never fought a fighter like Tyson. U can believe the fairytale shit if u want to
195lbs Walcott and 188lbs Moore put Marciano on the Canvas early. Super fast and aggressive 215lbs Tyson would easily stop Marciano. The only advantage Marciano has is heart and stamina. That's not gonna come into play if he can't get past the first four rounds. Marciano was slow, cut easily, and a relatively easy target. He just doesn't have a chance with a more skilled fighter from three decades later and 30 lbs heavier. And yes size plays a big role there's a reason boxing has weight classes. I have major respect for Marciano. Some things just can't be done. Imagine if Henry Armstrong moved up in weight to fight Jake Lamotta. Armstrong may be the better fighter, but what chance has he got?
+Hammering Hank Your dead wrong. Marciano was very hard to hit, it's a myth that he took 2 to get in 1. Marciano became very good defensively right around his championship years. Angelo Dundee said when he first saw Rocky he had two left feet but could punch, when he saw him a few years later he thought it was staggering how good Rocky's defense had become.Rocky is taller than Tyson. Marciano with the crouch and Tyson with the peek-a-boo pummeled fighters that were much larger in their careers, weight means nothing with men this large it's all skill and conditioning. I'm not saying Marciano would beat Tyson but size would be a non factor.
+Forestknite I agree Marciano's defense was under rated, but he wasn't Willie Pep, or anything like that. He was hit plenty. How is size a non factor? You don't think 30lbs makes a difference in chin and power? There's a reason fighters are usually better at their smallest weight class. Was James Toney as good a heavyweight as he was a super middleweight? Was Thomas Hearns as good at Cruiserweight as he was at Welterweight? The list goes on. Even fighters who did well in bigger weight classes still weren't as good. Bigger men are harder to hurt. It's just basic physics. Marciano doesn't stand a chance. That doesn't make him less of a fighter than Mike. It just makes him human.
Hammering Hank Joe Louis was 30 pounds heavier.vingo was 6'4 over 200 lbs.Layne was 200lbs.savold was 200 lbs.cockell was 205.he beat them all.he would beat mike easier.
Tyson doesn’t have the stamina that Rocky had. Rocky would out fight him in the ring. Not to mention that Rocky was awkward and random. Making his attacks virtually impossible for Tyson to Telegraph. Not to mention that Rocky is able to absorb punches. I say Rocky.
If Rocky is to beat Mike he must must be much more accurate than he sometimes was. He was powerful. He was awkward. He did have stamina. But against Mike Tyson he HAS TO connect early on and continue the barrage in order to win.

A in fight shape ready to go Rocky gives anyone through any time hell, win or lose Rocky would be in it to the very end. Rocky had something you simply can't teach and have to be born with. Guy was just as tough as they came.
Dude was a light heavyweight. And trying to put 20 extra lbs would make him even slower than what he was. You wyte guys are sumthin else 😭😂😂😭
Rocky would totally win! He trained like a monk! Mike was never as disciplined as Rocky! Rock never gets the credit for his defense! He was very hard to hit!
not a chance mate!
Hey jackrabbit, let's talk about Aaron, you know, your son Aaron. You said you and your wife both thought it was funny and laughed after you carelessly threw his name to the wolves. Could you explain that to me? You laughed?
Why did you never once say or do anything about it when Sharkey and Gorilla degraded your son? Could you explain that to me?

No way marciano never fought a young powerful explosive fighter like tyson. Tyson would ko him
Rocky wins.
Tyson wins. Marciano never fought anyone as young and powerful as Tyson

@@JahleelX-xx9wd Ali ? LOL The most overrated boxer ever. His "wins" over the mob controlled Sonny Liston were a joke. His cheater trainer Angelo Dundee, and his bullshit boring coward rope tactics.
@@ronbonora7872 Lol, shut up dude.
The Rock, for the victory.
Rocky Marciano was one of the toughest fighters ever. His unusual crouch and his pivoting back and forth allowed punches to come from everywhere. Also, at 188 pounds, he was extremely strong. I don't believe anybody had the determination and stamina as Rocky. He seemed to never get tired. He would have been able to take Tyson's onslaught and then beat him down in the finishing rounds like the video mentioned. As for the insult that he fought only old men, there have been plenty of older boxers that held different titles in their older years. Sugar Ray Robinson, Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Roberto Duran. All older men who came on strong even when they were considered old.
Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, Joe Louis, Archie Moore, Roland LaStarza. All older, but extremely tough men. On top of that, Rocky started boxing later in his life as a pro, 24-25 years old and retired at 32-33 years old. 7-8 years as a fighter. And I think he fought maybe 8-10 fights as an amateur. That's absolutely amazing!! I truly believe that the man proved himself to be one of the greatest heavyweight champions ever!!
HE$L NO!!!!! ...NOPE, ...No F'ing Way, ...Mike would KO him inside of 4 rounds. Wishful thinking tho (Your photoshop illustration paints Mike much Smaller in size comparison to Rocky in real life 188lbs to 225lbs prime fighting weight that's almost a 40lb difference, size does matter Lb 4 Lb ...prime 4 prime). Further, at only 49 fights and quitting to save face is not tough minded , especially being that the older men coming into these bouts with him (while he was only 28 years of age) had amassed a much higher KO record and winning overall record then him despite relatively few losses. Stop being psychologically hung up on the 49-0 run (Mostly, ...wanna be washed up cab drivers, then greats after their prime years) !!!!!!
Lastly, ...that's what makes the above mentioned boxers, you mentioned so great, ... because they managed to stay relavent in their after years, even squeezing out a championship !!!!!!!
People forget how quick prime Tyson was and how slow Marciano was. I think if people like Archie Moore and Walcott could put Marciano on the canvas Tyson would likely take him out. We're talking Cus D'Amoto/Kevin Rooney trained Tyson, really pre Don King taking over. Also, I don't think you can project what Marciano would be with modern training, you have to take Rocky "as is" from his prime years and put him in with Mike "as is" in his prime (i.e. the guy who fought Spinks). Also, Marciano got cut up and battered very easily and its unlikely in the modern era they're letting Marciano fight with half his nose split open like they did back in the day, so there's the possibility of stoppage due to cuts or taking too many punches.
But of the "modern" all-time great heavyweights Frazier and Tyson are the guys I give Rocky the best chance of beating. However, I don't think Marciano would have any shot against Ali, Foreman or Holmes. Remember, for all of the myth surrounding Marciano he wasn't considered the hardest puncher among heavyweights, that would be Earnie Shavers. Ali and Holmes both took Shaver's best punch and not only survived but won their fights. I can't see Marciano hitting anyone any harder than Shavers.
Marciano wins ,tyson would NOT BE ABLE TO GO THE DISTANCE with rocky ,why don't you have a look at the interview with turner on you tube speaking about how good and how very underrated marciano was, take note on what he says about his RAW punching power he had, this man has been involved with boxing for over 55 years +, tyson was a great fighter but fought alot of nobody's, also take note that archie moore was one of the best defensive fighters of all time, also note that Joe Walcott would dance Sonny Liston around the ring like a merry go round ,wake up fight fans and smell that COFFEE, Ezard Charles was one of the great pound for pound fighters of all time, Joe Louis at 37 still had a no.3 ranking and still a very good fighter and better than Ali at the same age, he also would of had no trouble beating liston or tyson at that age ,we saw how good liston was against Ali, and we saw tyson against Hollyfield, did not look that good against good competitors, Top 10 great fighters of all time if you Don't mind , Ali, Louis, Forman, Dempsey, Marciano,Holmes, Lewis, , Frazier, Hollyfield, and Walcott, With apologies to Liston , Charles, Moore, Tyson, spinks, and Norton. Fighters that can't go the distance aren't great with respect,
@@CTelstra-hw1iv marciano was very overrated. The only fighters he beat was a past prime louis and Walcott. He never faced anyone as young and explosive as tyson. Plus Tyson had the weight advantage Tyson would destroy him
Rocky hit harder then Tyson
It would be painful to watch Mike knock out Rocky in one or two rounds but im sure the Rock would take it like a champ .
@alien observer i hope you're right
he wouldnt get knocked out, i doubt he would get even knocked down
It's a pointless question! I wouldn't even honestly WANT TO WATCH THEM fight, because I LOVE THEM BOTH. I don't wanna diminish ANYONE of them and I wanna CONTINUE to idolize them. They are the guys I "grew up with" - not Marciano obviously of whom I heard only legends, but - mostly - Mike Tyson. Every Era has it's Fighter - and they BOTH DESERVE Respect.
Shut up
@@chasemichaels5083 Ssij go, cwelu.
I think This fantasy fight would be the same like Rocky Marciano Vs Archie Moore
I agree Tyson Before round 4 AFTER Round 5 its Rocky Big Time
Marciano wouldn't even make it that far.
Tyson would need a quick knockout.
Tyson couldn’t fight on the inside.
Holyfield exposed Tyson for that.
Rocky excelled at it.
Tyson couldn’t take hard body shots either.
They really slowed him down.
Holyfield put Tyson down with a body shot, and crippled him with them.
Rocky would have done the same, and knocked him out sooner than Holyfield, with his greater power.
@@colddeadhands7202 i very much agree Marciano was a Beast
4:32 Marciano was only knocked down twice in his entire career (by Walcott & Marciano). Both times he got up right away and shook it off like it was nothing.
MARCIANO PUTS MIKE DOWN,AND HARD.'NUFF SAID.
ANGRY GRIZZLY 🤗
I think your are right.. Rocky is much stronger in infight. And he throws two or three times more punches in a round then the most Top fighters in our decade. His stamina and physically is on a higher level then all. And mentally Rocky is better then Iron Mike or other fighters.
My opinion: If The fight goes past round 6 I would think that Mike's in trouble...but that's a big "if." The fight may not reach the sixth... Tyson hit HARD but Rocky was extremely resilient...
Marciano Destroys Mike No-Chin Tyson Fast!Real Fast!
Angry Grizzly So True,Sir.
If you had a time machine.....then you would have to send Tyson back....NOT Marciano forward...for the simple reason of the knowledge and any kind of advancements through the years to today. You have to put them on a level field of gloves and training as much as possible ! But I agree with your assessment ! It would be a rough fight...but I would lean towards Marciano !
Rocky wins in big fashion.
No way tyson is a bigger and harder hitter then any marciano fought tyson for the win
@@sexydudeuk2172 tyson isn’t bigger than anyone marciano ever fought.And marciano shared a ring with Louis so he’s no stranger to big hitters
@@darrenstopper1806 uh tyson is like 30lbs heavier big difference and no he didn't. Most of the guys marciano fought were pillow fisted and louis was an old man when they fought

@@sexydudeuk2172 prime joe louis was a very fast and sharp powerful hitter and was 200 lbs, 37 year old joe louis was 215 lbs so prime joe louis didnt hit much harder than 37 year old joe louis as you think, and no tyson is not a harder hitter, rocky hits much harder look at what he did to his opponents
Are you joking ? This is absolutely ridiculous. Tyson would knock Marciano out cold in the first minute
Agreed!
Rocky Marciano would get the victory.
Marciano would have to go through hell for 3 rounds. He would be knocked down at least once maybe twice. Mike Tyson would come at him so hard during the beginning of the fight. Most people don't know Mike studied the old fighters endlessly watching old films over and over. Mike has all the advantages in his favor not to mention the best boxing trainer of all time Cusd'amato. That being said I believe rocky would win by TKO in the 11th round. Mike Tyson could not continue going through the punishment and relentlessness of Rocky Marciano.
Rocky a very underrated defensive fighter, the best crowder in boxing history. Tyson mush faster, power even, boxing tech I'd give Rock the edge. Stamina is the key I think, Tyson needs to win early and good luck with that as Rock had a granite chin.
He was a "bleeder" though...
rocky never faced anyone who as hard as tyson. if tyson hit him hed feel it
TYSON IN THE 1ST ROUND LIKE MICHAEL SPINX, ONLY FROM WEIGHT AND THE BODY DIFFERENCE FROM 1945 TO 1985
Rocki marciano the best
Not really
best overrated. he beat no one that good
@@sexydudeuk2172 lol there was where he won against ali by knockout but that was them past their primes but still, rocky has durability and strength better than tyson
@@yes-qw6om he beat ali by knockout? that was computer generated you idiot. It was pure guesswork as well as racial favourtism
Marciano would lose to prime Foreman, Ali, Liston, Ken Norton, Lennox Lewis, Tyson Fury, Larry Holmes or Tyson.
In his prime, Tyson was the perfect fighter. Even though Marciano is my favorite fighter, I believe that Tyson in his prime would win.
However, if we take the average Tyson vs average Marciano, I’m sure Marciano would win.
Post-King Don, Tyson was never the same. He went from slipping punches to taking punches. Marciano was dedicated all the way through.
If Tyson stood still, Marciano would rip his head off.
Marciano's prime beats any Tyson you want to put up. Tyson did not like getting hit hard. Marciano would beat the living hell out of Mike.
@@mikewhitney8615 🤡
@@mikewhitney8615 hahahaha marciano beat old men.
Boxers aren't unbeatable just because he has an impressive record. Anybody is beatable in boxing, martial arts... A title could be consecutively be claimed by someone bigger and better than the previous champion until some relatively smaller guy with more heart makes the big guy loose. It's not one thing that makes a champion but a combination of many , many things. None of the greatest champions ever had them all. That's because we're human, not gods.
Marciano gets this victory yes.
A lot to consider here! Tyson had the advantage of speed and explosiveness. Marciano had the advantage of toughness, endurance and most probably determination. I think it would go to the fighter who fought the smartest fight. Tyson would have to destroy Marciano early. Marciano would have to 'confuse' Tyson and frustrate him then overwhelm him. One thing I am sure of is that it could go either way.
Rocky Gets the V.
Rocky takes this one!
No way Tyson too big and strong for him
Rocky Marciano Was a great fighter, but let's face the reality, the greatest fighter he had fought Was an old and not prepared after retirement and financialy broke Joe Louis. He didn't had much competivity at his time. It's a little like Vladimir klitscho and Anthony Joshua on these days. They're great Champions but the Golden era of boxing were from 60's to 90's. And this period of time brought us the greatest fighters ever.
You have a lot to learn.
49-0!!!!!!!
Insane
I believe Marciano would win. Never been knocked out, and few fighters could hit as hard as Joe Walcott, In fact if Walcott were alive today he would destroy most any heavy weight . Marciano was different, a true gladiator. He himself said he liked mixing it up and being punched just made him more alive. I've seen Mike and if he could not get his opponent out within 4 rounds, his confidence waned. Mike as seen, could not take the power pounces. Marciano, on the other hand could, did, and just got meaner. Marciano trained with a 300 pound heavy bag which may be another reason he could hit so hard in the ring. Mohammed Ali said it best when talking with Howard Cosell, that he may have won or lost fighting Marciano, who hits harder than Joe Frazer, said Ali. I don't think any super heavy weight today could beat him. Marciano is right on your chest giving no room for bigger guys to jab him away. Vicious in fighter throwing combinations that could wear any big guy down. Knock out power either hand and endurance they say could sustain him for 20 or more rounds. Finally, Rocky could take the hardest punches and not get knocked out. Mike could not take the punches which is another reason he had to get his opponent out early.
I was subscribed way back in around 2008 when the page was orooster4life I think. Great channel! Stylistically Marciano could give anyone problems win or lose, rocky had a much better defense than given credit for and was hard to hit cleanly, he didn't just crouch but he crouched offset not centered to it ruined a central line of offense for the other guy. Also rocky could take a shot arguably better than anyone and was never hurt. Another factor is that rocky had broken rhythem so the other fighters weren't able to guage him or really get there feet planted to throw good punches from. In a normal boxing match is almost like a dance with the rhythem and each fighter works off that rhythem, 1 guy will throw a 2 or 3 punch combination and the other guy feeling him out returns after 2 or 3 punches and it becomes a chess match but grounded in rhythem with each guy passing the other guy the ball so to speak. Back forth back forth. Well rocky didn't have the rhythem, he kept moving forward and punching from very unorthodox angles hard to defend from and the other guy couldnt work off the rhythem that wasn't there so since it was never like the dance/chess match the other guy had an incredibly awkward time fighting a very alien type of fight that rocky did well in. Not just that but rocky never passed the ball so essentially it forced the other guy in a perpetual state of discomfort where he was stripped of everything familiar. That's why some of the greatest technical fighters in history that he fought couldn't beat him, their technique worked well against other good technicians but against rocky it was to awkward and they had no answer. Of course rockys physical conditioning and relentless approach made fighting him even more nightmarish because if their plane was to tire him out then that wouldnt happen until the 85th round.
@@seniordavidmanderson9232 are you studentofthesweetscience as well?

@@Viking380 thank you
Both fighters have equal punching power, tenacity, and unrelenting will but Marciano seemed to be easier to get cut than mike. I think the fight would be stopped for that reason. If the fight went more than 5 rounds Marciano wouldn’t be able to see from his eyes being blinded from the bleeding

MARCIANO WAS 85KG,,,,,TYSON WAS 99KG
George Kafantaris And?
Sumeetbhenga Suree Would. Could. Should. We will never know for sure. What I do know is most people on different Rocky videos dissing him are people of color. Gee, I wonder why that is?🤔😆
Sumeetbhenga Suree Not all, but most. You see, we praise the man, the myth, the legend for what he was: the only heavyweight boxer to retire undefeated. Notice how I didn't say "white heavyweight boxer", just "heavyweight boxer". Joe Louis is my favorite after The Rock, and that's only because of The Rock's undefeated record. Sugar Ray Robinson is my favorite middleweight.
Actually its pretty east to figure. Does Tyson get him in the 1st 3 or 4 rounds ? about a 75% chance of that.
Once they get past round 5 Tyson has almost No Chance.
IF Rocky Ko's Louis when Louis was 30 is he easily the greatest ever ? Even Louis said I would have lost to him even in my prime.
first of all this fight would never had happen, because Marciano would never and i mean never step in the ring with a bigger stronger faster true heavyweight, he never did, he beat guys who were light heavyweights or former janitors,
Marciano's people never put him in against fighters who were big and could hit and had skill.
I like this revisionism about Marciano, like he was fighting the competition that Ali went against.
They keep saying his greatest win, his greatest fights ,all against old light heavyweight champions 34-42 years of age.
The man beat 20 fighters with losing records and beat a guy when he had 43 loses and then gave him a rematch when he had 63 losses, thats your champ, putting it all out on the limb.
Ali ,Tyson,Forman,Frazier beat great fighters who were big and in their prime,
Marciano was a 9-5 amateur, so he would just roll through Olympic Champs like Ali,Fraizer and Forman,
picture a 5ft 10 inch 190lb guy like Marciano in there trying to slug with Tyson, or shavers or forman
Lets do this give Marciano Ali's opponents Forman,Frazier, Liston,shavers,Norton,Lyle, Patterson,Quarry,Cleveland Williams
and then give Ali Marciano's opponents like Harry Bilazarian whose record was 3-5 lifetime,Bill Hardeman 1-5 career,Gilley Ferron 4-9 career,
Artie Donato 7-10,Tommy DiGiorgio 9-9 career,Ted Lowrey 63 49 loses,Eldridge Eatman 22 20 loses, Johnny Shkor 30 18 Losses,
Keene Simmons 8-8,Harold Mitchel 4-14 loses,Art Henri 13-15 losses,Willis Applegate 11-14 losses,
Ali would be undefeated, ALI HAD TO BEAT Sonny Liston,,Cleveland Williams,Floyld Ptterson Zoley FOLEY
Could you imagine this 186lb lil guy trying to bang with a Liston or shavers or forman,little dudes with no footwork, who just came str8 would be a sitting duck for those sluggers..Guy was a total paper champion lots of hype and if you look at his record, and opponents its a text book look at what a kept and sheltered fighter looks like Too even say this guy is in the same league as Ali is a joke and to ever think this slow lil no footwork guy could beat an
Muhammad Ali with competition Ali faced and the lack of competition Marciano faced, the talent size speed and ring membership Ali had it would be a massacre,not even a top 20 heavyweight of all time fake blown up paper 49-0 champion
HARLEM BASEBALL HITTING ACADEMY Another person of color dissing The Rock. It matters NOT what you people think. 49-0 is all that matters, DIG?
Sumeetbhenga Suree It doesn't matter what that ragazine, or your racist ass thinks. 49-0 is top dog fo sho! There were many boxers better than The Rock, but not FIGHTERS. The Brockton Bomber was a FIGHTER, the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves, as his record can attest to. No other heavyweight can claim an undefeated record, not ONE. His granite chin, enduring stamina, dynamite power with BOTH hands, and sheer will to win put The Rock on an entirely other level.
Just don't think it favors Rocky in any way shape or form. Too slow, too wide and too small IMO.
Great fighter, but everything is against him here. There is a 40lbs difference. You can't measure rockys strength against mikes accurately. Rocky was strong against other 190lbs men. Tysons was bullying men far bigger than that. Taking punches from the likes of Lewis also are telling, unless you're going to tell me that Rockys 188 power is comparable to Lennox?
You can only truly compare them based on what they competed against. Being flash knocked down by guys like Moore tell me what I need to know about this fight.
@peroxsigh i agree that mike takes rocky due to the things you mentioned, but to be fair lewis knocked tyson out in much less than ten rounds, rooster was more arguing that rocky would deal a lot of accumulative damage during the fight, and not necessarily knock tyson out based on his power alone, where as lewis simply hit hard enough that, when he landed solid tyson would go down. while i agree with rooster that rocky would deal a lot of accumulative damage by the tenth round, i really dont see this going past 3 rounds to be honest, which is why i take tyson over rocky.
Tyson was all hype ...explosive power in his punch but not very strong physically otherwise if a fighter took Tyson's angles away where Tyson could not left hook right upper cut combo and tied Tyson up inside while hooking off on him Tyson would lose all heart
I disagree. The early undefeated Tyson (in the small window of his prime) was as insanely strong & powerful fighter. He was as advertised; a bigger, faster version of Joe Frazier (whose style he emulated), who had power in BOTH hands. I'd take Rocky in his prime vs the Tyson that lost to Holyfield; but the amazingly sharp & highly conditioned Tyson would have smoked most great HW brawlers. He's still have trouble vs Foreman, Liston, etc; but I doubt Rocky would beat him.
I don't understand your point? He didn't take Lewis's punch. He went to sleep. And Moore had more knockouts than any man in history. A flash knock down is no shame.
@@mr.ru4real686 I bet so many guys walked into the ring thinking the same thing b4 they became a highlight.
Tyson would have Beat the Brakes off of Marciano..
Rocky kills mikey. For real.
Rocky isn’t evasive enough to survive the early rounds against Tyson but if he did….
"On July 12, 1951, he lost by 6th round KO to Rocky Marciano. Marciano's knockout punch sheared off four of Layne's upper, front teeth at the gumline and sent his mouthpiece bouncing with teeth included out of the ring." Name me another heavyweight boxer that did this. Hell, I know for a fact Tyson didn't.
He knocked out Michael Johnson's teeth in 1985 or 86 with a crushing overhand right.
What about when Marciano sent Carmine Vingo to the hospital in a coma? The guy almost died but survived partially paralyzed! Marciano also broke blood vessels and chipped bones in La Starza's arms when La Starza tried "rope-a-dope" with Marciano. I agree Tyson hits hard but I think Marciano hits even harder.
Yea the rock does hit hard.especially for his size as a heavyweight. I just think Tyson has more power but it's not my much.
Hell yeah Tyson could hit, there's not a person that ever seen the man fight that could argue otherwise. The difference between him and Marciano was that most of Tyson's opponents never saw it coming due to his quickness, speed, combo's etc... That makes a HUGE difference. Like Holyfield once said, it's not the first one that gets u, but the 2nd because that's the one u don't see coming. In contrast, with Marciano, most actually did see his punches coming. Not always, but for the most part he wasn't as talented as some of the better "boxer's" in regard to hitting the guy with a punch they don't see, which IMO makes Marciano all the more impressive when it comes to power. I really don't think it matters , they both hit hard as hell. It's still a matter of can Tyson knockout a guy that was only knocked down, DOWN twice, TWICE in 49 fights within the first 3 rounds. If he does he obviously wins, if he don't, Marciano will bully, and smother him to a KO anywhere from round 9-12, or 9-15.
Rocky got knocked down by old men. Imagine Tyson connecting to his head or so called granite chin ha ha 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10 fight over
It’s truly either man’s win for the taking, in my opinion. When you have two great heavyweights like these two with each man having so much attributes and abilities in their arsenal like these two did, it could go either way. Anytime you have heavyweights in the ring, the fight could end in the blink of an eye from one punch and I think in this dream match, that couldn’t be anymore true. But with that being said, I would place my bets on Tyson, based a few factors such as his pure overall skill advantage, weight advantage, and most importantly the multi generational gap between them, that allowed more knowledge and skills to be developed that Mike was trained in. Just my thoughts.
@GRIZZ THE 1ST Very articulated argument!
@GRIZZ THE 1ST he never beat any great fighters? Michael spinks? Larry Holmes? These names ring any bells? He didn’t just fight Roy Jones Jr in 2020 at the age of 53 and look great doing it? And he got beat by bums?? Evanander Holyfield? Lenox lewis? The only name Rocky Marciano ever beat worth mentioning was Joe Louis and he was past his prime by a long shot at that point.
@The Angry Grizzly rocky never beat one 200+ pounds , prime , world class, genuine heavy weight and struggled to put away the old past prime opp that he did box, rocky hit don cockel with everything he had and truly struggled to put him away don had been put away by much smaller men and very light punchers , rocky boxed in a post war drained era and facts combined with simple basic boxing knowledge suggest he would have been soundly beaten by boxers from other era's , especially boxers with the explosive power and speed of a prime tyson, put cockel in with tyson he's gone in a minute you clueless idiot.

Tyson was a beast but rockey was beast+Will.
My sentimental favourite would be Rocky. But I can't honestly see him overcoming the disparity in weight, plus Mike's undoubted edge in hand speed. Today he would be a light Cruiserweight, and wouldn't even be allowed to compete with Tyson, Ali, Fury, Frazier, Foreman, in fact you'd have to go back to Floyd Patterson to find a champion he'd be allowed to climb into the ring with today. Pound for pound yes, that's different. I think Rocky's indomitable will, strength, chin, conditioning, punch and infighting ability makes him one of the great, elite boxers at any weight, at any time.
