Been a bit nostalgic for this one.

Perhaps the new blood want to comment.

 

no I won't ALLOW IT TO!!!!

 

What the ****?!!

 

That's why you can't compare eras. We do it for fun on here, but it's impossible in reality.

 

Marciano's skeletal frame which was truncated and dwarfish could not carry 25 additional pounds and allow him to be anywhere near as effective. Can you imagine him trying that steep bend he employed, with his bad back and 25 extra pounds? Can you imagine him being even slower in delivering his 67" of reach? He merely becomes target practice at that point.

 

So basically we're turning Rocky into David Tua in order to compete with Wlad now?

 

Why does he need an extra 25 pounds? Its not going to give him better punch resistance.
Chaggy who was not medically fit to fight, went 7 rounds fighting stupid ,like lunging himself flush into Wlads right hands over and over.
He couldn't set a pace or control distance like Rocky could and Wlad would not be hitting him as hard. Rocks crouch will force Wlad to punch down at awkward angles lessening the power and he doesn't have the punch variation to compensate.
Unless you are one of these toolbags who say Wlad huggy bears him, reality for normal people is that a neutral ref allows for inside fighting where Rocky rips his fragile body and head apart.

 

Marciano would be lucky to get outta the 2nd.

dino, just give up.

 

Here we go Abso trying to make Tua into GOAT. Why would we turn Rocky into a limited slugger with no ring IQ?

 

Dino makes a very good point.

 

But 50year old Mormek makes it to R4

 

Waldo is going to control just about every second of this fight just as he does in all his recent fights, with distance, jab, footwork and power. It will be a clinical disrobing of an under gunned opponent that will drag on far longer than necessary and be halted after multiple knockdowns in the 8th. There will be no beauty, no poetry and above all, no drama.
