Anthony Joshau lost to Andy Ruiz

Usyk is not 6'4 and Marciano has up to this point fought and beat bigger men than he has

 

Who actually thinks that Rocky Marciano would enter the ring at that weight with today's training? He would enter as a cruiserweight most likely. His record is unbelievably underrated.

 

Oh he's 6 foot 4? Ok.

Will he become 6 foot 5 by next week? Is Usyk still growing by the way?

Marciano yeah that guy was solid, great comparison. He would do fantastic today... clean out the division.

If someone like Dillian Whyte lost to Marciano I would quit watching boxing.

 

Marciano was a great fighter but he was essentially a small cruiserweight, he still would be competitive in the cruiserweight division today, probably even champion but at heavyweight he would be out of his depth imo.

Bottom line is Marciano was not a modern heavyweight, he was a CRUISERWEIGHT and he should be compared to cruiserweights.

 

I was just recently at the International Boxing Hall of Fame and they had so many entries in his fighting days and the heavyweight scene in his era. It was great. I didn't expect to see so much regarding (my all-time favorite) Archie Moore, Jersey Joe, Ezzard Charles, Joe Louis, as well as strong contenders like Roland LaStarza, Rex Layne. The things about Rocky is that he often fought the best in the division multiple times.

 

Pffff...hahahaha maybe you should stick to water polo.

 

Well, Joe Louis was 6’2 215 pounds in that video.

It was a reply to a poster that said Marciano had no skills. Which is a common misconception.

 

Marciano was a cruiserweight who fought heavyweights Usyk is a cruiserweights who's only fought cruiserweights

 

Marciano was about 185-188 pounds most of the time and he had exceptional stamina, workrate, chin and punching power, imo he would do very well for himself in the cruiserweight division, he certainly wouldn’t be a pushover for anyone.

 

Marciano beat heavyweights Usyk has not
