    Yep, but I don't think it takes the Q to do it.

    That was a well timed response to Joe's Sucka Punch. I don't think Wilder has a punch deceptive enough to force Rocco into that sort of situation. He just gets stretched out and dropped.

    You mean Marcianos double left hook? That make sense as Wlad landed medium lefthooks in sparring and Wilder went down and out.

    Hard to say wilders chin isn't really been tested much yet, probably if marciano lands it flush on his chin I'd imagine deontay would be in trouble possibly k.o. that being said wilder would likely bust rocky up and stop him within 4 rounds if were being honest here

    Well my ****, I am impressed. I thought you were just trolling and figured may as well play along and didn't anticipate you actually knowing what I'm getting at, but yeah you got me. I assume you'll know the next bit but **** it take is as a dear reader for third parties.

    The double left I assume you're talking about is the same as when he KO'd Mathews? I've heard it called a few different things, I quite like the Gazelle Punch given he didn't always double up. Either way when Rock gets low and steps in he doesn't shuffle in like Frazier. He's not sneaking his way in. Marciano's lack of giving any ****s about defense can be seen in his feet. Notice how often he cross steps where you're meant to shuffle? That gives him the opportunity to literally jump into his shots while covering more distance than even the largest HWs of today's shuffle can, they can backpedal, get on that bike and ride, but there is no shuffling back. Marciano doesn't slip, sneak, or trick his way past the jab he busts through it.

    That said, yeah I do think Marciano could KO Wilder and any other current HW with just a few interactions. No, I don't think he could last like he did in his time, but I also don't think anyone can present a challenge enough to force him to last. Big ninnies with little talent that go down easy screaming at eachother like their words are scary don't impress me. Biting every bait more elaborate than a feint don't impress me. Today's crop is easy work.

    Marciano has neither the size, power, stamina nor chin to hang with a modern day Superheavy KO Machine like Wilder

    This ^

    Marciano isn’t a heavyweight in modern terms, he’d be destroying opponents at light heavy or cruiser.

    If Marciano lands flush Wilder is out. Unfortunately Wilder has been avoiding risk (was it his mate Malik who took a drive for him for example? ) so we don't know how good he really can be, but I'm guessing he's packing glass and would get destroyed by Rocky. I don't see Wilder taking Marciano out with a single punch, which means Rocky is up in his chest throwing his dangerous shots with lethal intent; and without tiring - a weakness of the modern heavyweights.

    It's all speculation.
