Wladimir Klitschko vs. Rocky Marciano

Yessir they do.

Not even close. Rocky was a cruiserweight.

 

Chavez Jr was probably 185 against Martinez.
(He had been in the 180 range before and looked bigger this time)

Just give him the right diuretics and he becomes a middleweight.

 

Not the same thing.

No knock on Rocky who just wasn't a big enough man to deal with a talented monster like Vitali or Wlad. How would he even get close without getting his head taken off?

The Klitschkos would walk through that entire era like a hot knife thru butter.

 

I said with diuretics, Marciano might make middleweight.

I never once said in this thread said Marciano his chance is higher than 2% to win against Wlad.

 

oh bull****, Rocky used to drain himself to make 185 and hunch his shoulders during pre-fight measurements. The man was a legit 6'3, 215 pounds of heart, skill, and determination.

 

Strong bump

 

Like Wlad put china chinned Haye through the canvas? **** out of here.

 

Bump

 

Puritty was a bum, Byrd couldn't crack an egg, Sanders was a golfer, Lewis was 70 and Brewster was useless.

This thread is awesome.

 

just wait until wlad starts passing marciano on top 10 heavyweight lists. people's dicks will explode with rage (or does that only happen to me?)

 

Seamus you are usually a good poster but this is a ridiculous statement, i know you love Big guys but lets not overlook greatness or power...If Walcott landed the Marciano or Charles left hook on Wladmirs or Lennox's chin clean and square they would surely fall, Vlad did get up from a fall but Lennox never did to beat the count...I do take size into account but a clean well timed pin-point power punch can put anyone down and muscled as the big guys may be Rahman,McCall, Brewster,Sanders,Purity I am not sure they had the one shot power of JJW or even the 188lb Marciano and I am sure that both big men if tagged clean would go down by the Lil old guys...This tread has no balance reminds me of the last USA election...no balance or truth

 

Rocky would hide his bump as well, so opponents would think he was less of a man.

 

Sure, if they got caught absolutely perfectly square on the chin and didn't brace themselves and dipped slightly to bring them down a peg then their lights might be put out. Is any of that likely though? Tua caught Lennox several times throughout their fight, with no real effect, and he only really caught him by leaping forward. Morrison didn't land anything of consequence. Both of those guys had significantly more one punch power in their lefts than JJ or Charles. It's overhand rights that tend to do in taller fighters, not hooks. And the overhand is a punch that tends to increase in power relative to size, because it requires you to throw your whole bodyweight into it. Brewster and Rahman were both huge men who did just that. McCall to a slightly lesser degree as well. As for Sanders, he was a similarly huge man with incredible handspeed for a man his size, and proven power against the likes of Vit Klit whom he badly rocked and (unofficially) knocked down. He was crude as a cucumber, but I doubt you'd find anyone criticizing his lack of power.

 

I would gamble my house on the fact that Rahman, Brewster, Sanders and McCall hit harder than Walcott. In fact, of those four, power is the one constant. McCall had the chin, Rahman the jab, Sanders the speed... but power in an era of super heavies (which for all intents and purpose should be a different division) is what they all really possessed... not power against blown-up light heavies with a sprinkling of pituitary cases but power night in and night out against legit modern super heavies.
