    Folks,

    Short and direct.... '11 Tom Adamek at 217 pounds against '53 Marciano at 187 pounds in a time machine / dream fight........ How does this pan out??? Marciano bullish and powerful; Adamek slick and quick as whale **** pouring on an iceberg...... How do you see this??? C'mon...
    :huh:shock::think

    Classic section


    Hell of a match though. Adamek would have been a great HW back in the classic era, HW sized for back then

    Classic section moves too slow for me........ I prefer it gets noticed here with feedback...... True fans will see the light and get the message.... Christ, I'll post the thread in the European section if you like...... I give a duck......

    I honestly think Marciano rips Adamek apart.

    Marciano, only because I believe he is tougher.

    Are you ****ing craz-never mind. I know the answer. Adamek ain't that damn slick and he sure as ****all isn't even as slick as a faded version of Walcott or Charles. He gets abso****inglutely brutalized by Marciano. Sickeningly brutalized. ...The kind of brutality that after you see it, you want to hug your children and tell them everything will be okay, even though they can plainly see you're crying and shaking all over so they start freaking out and the whole family winds up sedated at a mental institution out in the country and nobody ever visits because the whole situation is that sad.

    Not to say that Marciano wasnt an ATG fighter, but he was a small HW, and his best wins were against older, past prime ATGS.

    His place as an ATG heavyweight in terms of skill is lower on the HW list. His size is problem against the larger HWs of the past 30 years

    He was a grinder with great power and good but not great defense for an offensive puncher. He could be hit, and knocked down

    Adamek doesnt have his power, but he is larger, and Adamek has a very well rounded skillset

    I see Adamek doing his best to keep Marciano on the outside, and Marciano doing his damnedest to make it an inside fight

    I think Marciano would succeed, with bodyshots and headshots, not giving Adamek any space to plant his feet, keeping him moving, trying counter and parry

    Marciano I believe would win, but he would "destroy, annihilate, decimate" Adamek. Adamek is too good of a fighter for that

    Dawson pretty much hit Adamek @ will so in my mind Marciano would put Adamek in the hospital fellas.
