I believe the answer is:

harmonica

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blow it' is the definition.

'heavyweight's heading to meet rocky marciano' is the wordplay.
'heading to' indicates taking the first letters.
'meet' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'rocky' indicates an anagram.
The first letter of 'heavyweights' is 'h'.
'marciano' anagrammed gives 'armonica'.
'h'+'armonica'='HARMONICA'

'one might' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
