    Marciano crushes Wilder. Wilder wont be able to handle the constant pressure and wont be able to land cleanly with Rockys swarming style. Marciano has one punch knock out power in both hands and Marciano has him out of there in 5 rounds. A huge gulf in class here.

    I have him as warm favorite against them all. His come forward, combative style with knock out power in both hands was too much to handle for anyone he ever fought including Joe Louis whos career he ended. These guys have never faced a fighter of the calibre of Mariciano and they would be found wanting.

    Marciano loses to all of them IMO

    Another brilliant Marciano thread to start the day right.

    I think he's got a decent chin and he has plenty of heart/balls too.

    Such a brilliant post addressed to a simpleton. Wilder looked as clueless as I’ve seen a supposed top rater ever look. Blind Freddy can see that Wilder can’t fight for **** in close and lacks the jab and work rate to control range and against a guy who can shorten distance as good as Frazier and is second to none amongst heavies in targeting the body that spells doom for Deontay.

    As an aside another thing I’ve noted about these modern fluffers is that they take the heaviest weight of the modern guy and take the lowest weights of the old guys to make the size discrepancy larger. Fury was as heavy as he’s been at 273 (but was 247 when he beat Wlad, 248 when he beat Kevin Johnson, he’s been doughy in every comeback fight thus far) and Wilder was 230 (but as a rule comes in much lighter) but Frazier came in at 215 plus numerous times and was in great shape when he did (Manilla being a prime example). It’s pretty obvious why they do it but it deserves noting.

    One thing we can say now about Fury, he's beaten one of his peers who was top of his game. Can't take that away from him.

    This. Rocky was a master at going to the solar plexus and tearing and breaking his opponent down. Wilder leaves his body way too open for me to see him lasting very long with Marciano and Wilder isn’t any good at clinching and wrestling like Wlad, Lennox, T. Fury.

    Also, Moore, Charles, Walcott are all being severely underestimated on here. With the way Wilder walks around the ring with his hands down and chin in the air Moore and Walcott would’ve had a field day with him and Charles would’ve given Wilder a boxing lesson.

    This. Let’s hope Fury stays focused and keeps it up.
