Serious thread, how exactly do you see this fight going? All you boxing nostalgics who **** on Klitschko era please explain to me how 1.80m 85kg 170cm reach Rocky Marciano beats 2.02m 113kg 210cm reach granite chin Mariusz Wach, I need a laugh. I have Mariusz Wach by brutal devastating KO like in his fight against Hammer
wach is tough as anyone but he's also a bit **** and really slow. if rocky had any chin or stamina issues i could see picking against him here, but those are his strengths.
I'm a big time brings h2h progress, size is important guy, and Wach would be vastly bigger than any opponent Marciano ever faced. And Marciano wouldn't be koing Wach. But all that said, I think Marciano gets a decision. Wach is really quite bad, barely a top 30 guy today. I think a dominant champ from 60 years ago still beats a fringe top 30 guy today.
'wach ? Against the rock .Marciano by brutal early KO .'wach wouldn't make a sparing partner for him slow and easy to hit only his decent Chops would help. would take a terrible beating like Dempsey v Willard but worse.
Klitschko and Povetkin couldn't KO Wach, an 85 kg midget wouldn't be able to do ****. I have Wach by brutal malicious late KO Wach is a direct descendant of giant warriors
So I fully expect to people to come in with nostalgia goggles and confidently predict Marciano by KO despite the fact that neither Wlad or Povetkin could seriously hurt Wach(the Povetin stoppage was BS Wach definitely would have gone the distance had the ref left him) Wlad certainly hits harder than Marciano, and Povetkin probably did too... Wach probably get's shut out but it's safe to say that he would probably see the cards.
Rocky would outlast him and outwork him with superior skills and stamina. This is actually a super heavyweight rocky could beat, as he doesnt have the best skills stamina or defense.. just the size iron chin and power and you usually need more than that to beat Rocky.
What is the point of this thread is the more interesting question. Why are you hating on Rocky? Ali fan?
Marciano punched around a 300 pound heavy bag like it was nothing. Try it sometime. Rocky uses Wach as a human punching bag until the bout is stopped. ATG fighter vs a nobody who will never be anybody.
