The Brockton Bomber vs The Bronze Bomber

For certain, but it is a different game, when you are fighting top ten ranked men, who are fighting for their relevance!

None that he would not have been capable of KO'ing.

A few I suspect, that he wouldn't!

They at least equate a man who is there to win, as opposed to built up a KO%!

 

Miss the Duhaupas fight then?

 

Okay the ropes kept him up

 

This is a complete mismatch. Wilder would dominate Marciano and knock him out early, easily, and brutally.

 

Duhaupas,Washington,Szpilla,Breazeale.Arreola,Ortiz,Scott, werent there to win?

 

There is a significant difference between being there to win, in a man who knows how to fight, and a man who might actually be a serious risk to the title.

You can fight the former regularly, with measurable risk, and hope that you don't meet an Andy Ruiz.

You fight the latter regularly at your peril!

 

Then why does he never fight anybody with a pulse?

 

Wilder is too big and too strong for Marciano.

 

Still didn't go down and they didn't really

 

This was your statement.

"They at least equate a man who is there to win, as opposed to built up a KO%!"

Now you have significantly qualified it!
I'd pick everyone in the current top ten to beat.
Layne,Lastarza,Mathews,Cokkell.

Wilder is a seriously flawed fighter, but he is 220lbs , 6ft 7"and with an 83 inch reach, 35lbs heavier than Rocky ,nearly a foot taller, and out reaches him by15inches! He can tag Marciano long before he can get into his own range,tie him up inside , lean on him and smother his shots.
Wilder took Ortiz' big shots without trouble and landed next to nothing himself before finding a home for one single fight ending right hand ,sparking a trained to his best ,235lbs quality heavyweight .
Marciano never came anywhere near that!

In what way is Ortiz quality? Besides being big what does he bring to the table? Talk about slow. He may be the slowest contender I’ve ever seen. Who has he beaten? As far as Wilder goes I’ve never seen such an inactive guy in my life. Less then 20 punches a round is a disgrace for others have called an “elite” athlete. Far from it. He’s terrible at his craft and gets by on his freakish power. Shavers had a lot of losses because he actually fought people. Wilder has fought bums period. And as far as your prior list goes Layne would do very well with this crap crop of HWs. Especially with modern steroids...I mean training. He became shitty after Marciano crushed his dreams and he stopped training.

 

Marciano has the highest KO percentage of any HW champ yet u question his power daily on this forum. Quality of opponent matters which is why Marciano is rarely rated the best HW. Which is why I can confidently say Marciano would destroy wilder. Marciano’s competition was much better then Wilders. I can’t see how the no endurance having Wilder would possibly keep up with the hard to hit clean Marciano for more then several rounds. You’d probably have no problem picking Frazier or Tyson over wilder whom were both the same height or shorter. But for some reason Marciano is to short?

 

Wilder reminds me alot of Harry Kid Mathews. I think it may go down the same way. With Rocky power and strength being to dominant.

 

He walked through a couple of lefthooks from Joe Louis that stretched more than a few men. The Brown Bomber had scored a 1 punch KO with that hook against Savold before that.
