Marciano vs Beterbiev

Marciano by KO. After a few fun rounds of two-way action, Rocky starts to put a hurting on Beterbiev until he crumbles.

 

Marciano stops him


Good match up and style clash

@Beouche nice job coming up with this one


Beterbiev did compete in the heavyweight in the amatures and he does in my opinion punch like a cruiserweight.

Beterbiev power gives marciano issues early on knocks him down . however after that marcianos volume ,power , punch output turn up and take the lead.


Marciano tko 9

 

As a fan of Beterbiev, Marciano is better than Beterbiev in almost every way

More head movement
Harder puncher
More proven against better competition
More proven chin
Physically stronger
More adaptability
Better stamina
More workrate

Like c'mon. Marciano KO7, it is a surprisingly 1 sided fight.

 

I'd say Beterbeiv is better skilled, including adaptability and head-movement.

 

Beterbiev doesn't move his head all that much, Marciano had the crouch

 

Yeah, neither are channeling a prime
Manos De Piedra anyway. What about adaptability, though? Beterbeiv's amateur pedigree gives him ridiculous experience and I think that shows. He has a very underrated Ring IQ when he chooses to use it.

 

Beterbiev is stronger, better conditioned, better skilled...

Edit : Didn't get to finish. Just look at the two of them on video, Beterbiev is fast, strong, explosive, Marciano is slow twitch, slow pace, with bad footwork and balance. It would be interesting to see how RM's conditioning held up when he had to fight a busy fighter at a faster pace. Don't expect to sway people on this board, but I'd like to be able to bet on Beterbiev vs. RM.

Better conditioned is actually laughably wrong

 

Marciano was no speed demon, but he wasn't a snail by any means. I don't know where this gross misconception of him being slow comes from. He's not as slow as many posters make him out to be

 

Just watched Pat M’s training montage of Beterbiev and are now picking him over the former undefeated world heavyweight champion.

Beterbiev can punch a tennis ball strapped to his head and is therefore invincible.

 

Slow pace? What weeaboo midgets have you been watching? Seriously though, how is Marciano a slow paced fighter? Beterbeiv, in 10 rounds, threw 515 punches according to compubox. That's not a slow pace for a LHW. However, Marciano, In the 15th round of his fight with Charles, he threw around 95 punches. In a single round, and the final round mind you, Marciano threw almost a fifth of the punches Beterbeiv did in 10. And Marciano was a HW! So whilst I agree Marciano has bad footwork and balance to say Marciano fights at a slow pace is either a ploy to cause arguments or simple ignorance.

Why is Beterbeiv stronger? Coz he has better muscle definition? He's naturally smaller, and iirc had issues bulling Callum Johnson around. Marciano would bowl him over like a red-headed step child. Same again, why is Beterbeiv better conditioned? Marciano threw considerably more than him per round, and fought more rounds. You say you'd like to see Marciano vs more conditioned opposition? Have you seen the Moore fight? Moore was exceptionally well conditioned and imo would beat every CW today, let alone Beterbeiv.

Again, I agree Beterbeiv is probably the more athletic of the two, and definitely the better schooled, but the stating he better conditioned is crazy and I see know viable argument that AB is stronger, either.

 

You would have to prove a hell of a lot today, to be favorite over Marciano while you were still active!

 

Beterbiev is more athletic, stronger, intelligent in the ring and out, superior puncher with a world class Amateur pedigree. Beterbiev by TKO stoppage in the 7th.

 

With the exception of having a better amateur pedigree, I strongly disagree with every part of your post.
