Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Rocky Marciano
My contention goes further than merely that size wins this one for Wlad.
Wlad is quite simply the greater heavyweight. He has been the best heavyweight on the planet, not in Rhode Island, for almost as long as Rocky's entire career. He has been able to fend off the old guard, his contemporaries (many who have already retired) and he is working on the new guard. He is fighting in an era which recruits worldwide... Africa, North America, Eastern Europe, a power-first era for the division when heavies simply dwarf those of the '50's.
Wlad not only demolishes Marciano; he is the greater heavyweight.
