this post is interesting in 1 respect and asinine in many others.
to say anything bad or detracting about a great, undefeated heavyweight champion of the world, and still the ONLY such character after over 50 years that he's been retired, is utterly sophomoric, not to mention nauseating.
the 1 interesting thing is how different the heavyeights and all fighting styles have become SINCE Marciano's time.
It is hard to imagine the allegedly sluggish flat footed Rocky against the lightning fast head bobbing Tyson. We're talking 30+ years difference (1955 and 1985, say). Its just as hard for me to picture JFK standing next to Brittney Spears and having a conversation.
One thing is for sure, Rocky never quit, and couldnt imagine ever losing, as he had said several times. One Suzie Q to Tyson's body and whimperin lil Mike would look at the ref and fall apart mentally.
Tyson would bite Rocky's ear, and it would be a DQ.
