Rocky would win......When Tyson went against people that didn't fear him he lost. That was part of his game plan. Let me intimidate you.

I know boxing fans like to romanticize things, so fights are always about "heart" or "guts" or "willpower," all of which are things that Rocky had in spades. And of course, Tyson's reputation hasn't exactly improved over the years. But let's be real. Tyson would kill Marciano. It doesn't matter if Marciano was afraid of him or not; his style was tailor made for Tyson. The guys who did best against Tyson were tall guys with good wingspans who could jab (a la Buster Douglas). Marciano was shorter than Tyson and didn't have Tyson's reach. He also was a poor defender who took a lot of shots to land one, which means Tyson would bomb him out of the ring. Tyson's devastating power and hand speed would be too much for Rocky.

Marciano for sure. Mike Tyson is the most overrated boxer in the history of the sport. Look at the people he fought. The only good or half way decent boxers, he lost to. Marciano fought in a time when boxing was one of the most popular sports in the world, and all the best athletes were boxers, not like today. Today all the best athletes, at least in the United States play basketball, and football.

Rocky by early round KO, Rocky was the original quick KO'er. Just like Tyson, 8 of Rockys first 11 fights ended by a 1st round KO! Difference is that Rocky had much more heart and determination than Tyson did. And the post that said joe LOUIS would beat Rocky.....Check your history dear, Rocky beat Louis!

Marciano in a 7th-round KO. The fighters who beat Tyson were the ones who weren't afraid of him: Douglas, Holyfield, Lewis. And if Tyson bit Marciano's ear, Marciano would pulverize him. Marciano faced harder punchers and beat them all. Tyson's best weapon was intimidation. Against a fighter who wouldn't be intimidated, he was a bum. Some of the guys Marciano beat, like Jersey Joe Walcott and Archie Moore, would also have beaten Tyson.

Rocky early. When Tyson saw Rocky come right for him, it would confuse him just long enough for The Rock to end his fraudulent career permanently. 1st round KO. Tyson couldn't beat Douglas, Holyfield, Lewis, or Bowe. How can anyone think he could beat one of the greatest of all-time? You must be joking.
