    A large percentage of people feel Marciano was a great heavyweight but too small to beat a talented super heavy, so if people can compare fighters at lower weights P4P to bigger fighters how does Rocky mount up compared to Wlad P4P?

    Marciano by a SUBSTANTIAL margin. Without the significant size advantage he often enjoyed, Wlad would have lost countless more times. Wlad fought as timidly as any fighter his size that I have seen. I can't imagine what he would do without the size advantage.

    Marciano for mine. Both great fighters though and both classy disciplined and dedicated athletes.

    Don't believe in p4p but Wlads success is definitely from his size ... Of course that's part of who he is and you cannot penalize him for that but if he wasn't that size he would be a different fighter

    Don’t Marciano’s compact style leading to his success also stem from his size? if he was Wlads size he woulda also fight like Wlad and vice versa. Shows what nonsense p4p really is. Even at heavyweight it always favours the smaller fighters.

    You got some kinda patent on p4p, antman? Ain’t seen no one here so obsessed with talking about p4p an applying it to every fighter as you.
