If you can name one fight in which Tyson was pressured for 10 plus rounds. (And it has to be a fight that he actually won.) If you can name a fight such as this then I will say you are right. But the only problem is Tyson was never in a fight before that he was actually pressured the entire time and then won. It never happened. So how can you even say that he could beat marciano or Frazier? It makes no sense. Both Frazier and Marciano have both been in fights were they were pressured. And they both were able to win such fights unlike Tyson. I honestly think that if Tyson fought in the 1970's then we never would of even heard of him.
Do you not see the gaping hole in your argument? This would be like someone saying Ricky Hatton would put pressure on Nigel Benn for an entire fight because he did it to everyone else he fought. Marciano fans need to come back down to earth and realize Tyson-Marciano would be as brutal as Benn-Hatton. Rocky Marciano is not even a heavyweight by today's standards. Putting guys up against guys who have no business being in that weight division is what would get guys seriously injured.
You got some gaps yourself for instance to take your own argument just because Tyson knocked out out most that he fought does not mean he would have done it with the much greater competition that Marcino had. Just go to boxrec and look at he the records of the fighters that Tyson beat and then do the same for Marciano. The only impressive wins tyson has in my opinion are Spinks and Tucker.

If you really ever boxed an accomplished smaller slugger or seen one spar with a big accomplished one you will see that they are very competive and often dominating. Also go look up some of the oldtime boxers who were given the oportunity to fight much bigger men and you will see what I mean. Heck, many heavyweights today are fighting giants compared to themselves and I aint seen james Toney get hurt yet. Put Calzaghe, Hopkins, Taylor, Bell, etcc.. against some heavyweights like Ruis, Valuev, or some of the latest Tyson apponants and I will put my money on the smaller man every time.
