Could Marciano make 168lbs if he turned pro today?

Bigger meaning what?

 

How many current HW fighters do you rank as faster than Rocky?

 

Name me all the HW fighters that weigh less than 220lb and I'll give you an answer.

 

Do you have to be below 220 to be quicker than Rocky?

 

Parker, Wlad, Wilder, Ruiz.
Jennings, Spzilka

 

Wilder is definitely. I don't think anyone else on that list is.

Would be interesting to see a side by side comparison.

 

Parker certainly is.
He's faster than Wilder too.

 

For 12 rounds? He starts quick but doesn't seem to maintain it.

 

And how many from the generation of fighters that these guys come from could you sincerely be surprised about if they were exposed as drug cheats?

 

Marcino trained very hard he maybe was even over training. If he had of cut down to 168 it may have strained his body to much, but maybe he could do it.

Also Marciano dieted a lot only eating one meal a day and sometime not even eating the meat just chewing it, then he would spit it out.

So Marciano definetly wanted to come into the ring as light as possible already.

I think under modern training he would be 10 to 15 pounds heavier and likely to his benifit.And if you put him on peds you could maybe add another 10. which might bring him close to 210, so he could of fought heavyweights or cruiserweights. I think 168 would be to much of a strain on his body.

 

No just want to compare Marciano to HW's that would be around his size if he bulked up to his full potential. Tyson and Tua had faster hands whilst being a lot bigger.

 

Wilder, Povetkin and Molina are probably the 3 naturally smallest ranked HW fighters.

 

Where as this would be normal now. Nobody would mind Tubbs being even heavier now..

 

And all 3 have massive height and reach advantages have they not?

 

What does that have to do with a discussion about hand speed?
