    Nobody with Duran`s reach could ever have beaten a fighter with a 78 inch reach but the reach gap between Wlad and Marciano would have been even bigger, would a bout between these two heavies have played out like Hearns v Roberto then?

    No. It would last longer. Wlad was never that aggressive.

    I'd give it 4 rounds at most for Wlad pre Stewart and 8 for Wlad with Manny

    Where did this question even come from?

    Haye refused to trade with Wlad and was on the defensive all night. Marciano wouldn't be. He'd be walking Forward into the jab and cross. He'd be missing his shots and be open for counters. A sensible Wlad would take some and not others whilst maintaining distance. A young Wlad would just go at him

    Wlad was nothing like hearns, other than having a long reach and a shakey chin. Duran and marciano both fought on the inside but were totally different in their approach. Duran would literally be so close to you his chin would rest on your shoulder and he'd use all kinds of incredible cagey strategies and traps to confuse you. Marciano was more of a volume puncher breaking you down with sheer pressure and power.

    If you wanna compare Hearns to Wlad then you might as well call Marciano Hagler

    Nono you're thinking of Vitali Klitschko, Wlad's glass chin gets stopped the old fashion way

    By Marciano's true grit and relentless assault

    Mark. Are you mentally ill?

    REACH in of itself is the last thing to look at. It’s speed, reflexes, timing, skill, styles.

    Mike Tyson had a very short reach but he out jabbed nearly every fighter he faced.

    Marciano would have destroyed Sanders though.
