I don't think so. The champion, Jersey Joe Walcott was whipping Marciano's ass until Rocky leaped across the ring in the 13th round and caught Joe with a thunderous right hook. If Tyson had been hitting Marciano the way Joe had, Marciano wouldn't have been around or conscious to do what he did to Joe. And, arguably, the Marciano fight took place when Walcott was past his prime.i grew up in the adjacent neighborhood where Rocky grew up,....then we moved,,,but his decendents were in my middle school,,,all great athletes.,...actually,,,i once saw Marvin Hagler when I was a busboy. Both from Brockton Mass,,,,,,and yes,,,,,,Rocky would of opened a canned of whoop ass on Tyson.
Like I said, Walcott beat Rocky for most of 13 rounds. That lucky punch in round 13 saved him.a lot of people {much younger than us} would just assume that tyson would beat rocky,,,,,but we know better.....no one could ever beat Rocky! Rocky was the Bruno Sammartino of Boxing!I'll be 69 in two months and Marciano was a legend for his toughness in my youth; he would definitely have a puncher's chance against any fighter who ever lived. It is a little hard to compare the three greats because Ali's prime years were taken away when he refused induction in 1967.we will never know.....but we can all agree that it would be close"Rocky Marciano/Height and weight
This is not an easy one to decipher. You take the two of the three greatest boxers ever, and picture them going at it for 15 rounds, who wins?
Now, with Rocky Marcianno...yah, he would kick both their butts!
But Tyson VS Ali?,,,,,,tough to call a winner.
But lets hear how the match would go in your opinion.

"Height 5′ 11″, Weight 188 lbs"
"The first thing one notices when looking at the tale of the tape in a match up of Rock versus Iron is the size difference. While they are about the same height Tyson clearly has an overall advantage in size. He is bigger and stronger on paper. While size is not the most important issue, Tyson, weighing in at 216 (his weight for the Spinks fight) would have a 31-pound weight and strength advantage over Marciano."
I think Ali and Tyson would split a three match contest, but I can't imagine Rocky winning one. Too small, too slow, too ethnic.
Rock Against Iron: Marciano vs. Tyson!
Marciano beats Ali, but with Tyson...I dont know. Tyson had more up-to-date training and techniques, and that edge may have made the difference.

and a really pissed off Hillary would beat Ali in the 3rd.MAriano beats Ali, but with Tyson...I dont know. Tyson had more up-to-date training and techniques, and that edge may have made the difference.

Tyson beats Ali easily though.
Ali VS Tyson......would be like Trump VS NoBama,,,,,Bama goes down in the 2nd round
a 185 lb rocky is going to beat a fighter who outweighs him by 30 pounds?....i dont think so.....

Skill at boxing is way more important than size or weight.a 185 lb rocky is going to beat a fighter who outweighs him by 30 pounds?....i dont think so.....

That is a good point. Ali's best fighting weigh was around 212 and his hand and foot speed was legendary! I can't say for sure which of the two champions would win in a 15 round fight but I think Ali would take Marciano on points in a 12 round thriller.a 185 lb rocky is going to beat a fighter who outweighs him by 30 pounds?....i dont think so.....

Twice their size? Some journeyman fighters might have been taller but didn't weigh much more than 200 pounds. But few of them even came close to matching the speed and skill of Ali in his prime. I think Ali vs Marciano would have been like Tunney vs Dempsey. Tunney outsmarted Dempsey and Ali would have outsmarted Marciano…that is, in a 12 round fight...Skill at boxing is way more important than size or weight.a 185 lb rocky is going to beat a fighter who outweighs him by 30 pounds?....i dont think so.....

Marciano and Tyson both were short and light and still brought down men twice their size.
