Marciano vs King Levinsky Max Schmeling Max Baer Jack Sharkey Primo Carnera James Braddock Tony Galento Everyone is at their best. Could Marciano make it undefeated?
Schmeling and Sharkey have genuine chances here, I'd favour the Rock comfortably over the rest though unless Primo's allowed to wrassle.
Sharkey and Schmeling at their best are big problems, especially the German. Baer blows him out of the ring. Beats the rest.
What do you mean that Baer blows him out of the ring? You make it sound like a possible Foreman/Frazier scenario.
Clears all and clears Louis as well, although thats a really good scrap and very close (could go the other way) Far too overwhelming for the rest and would baffle max Baer by actually knowing how to infight. Galento would be the worst stylistic matchup and that would be a very ugly fight, but Marciano is too game and too in shape. Anyone who says the Jack Sharkey of the 30s has a chance against Marciano is also deluded, imo. Dunno why the one person who debatably beats him was excluded
Odds on he loses at least one time against this crew. Would have loved to have seen Rocky vs Two Ton Tony G.
Well, Marciano's key rivals during his time were all clever boxers in the main so this would make a nice change of pace, to see him against size and clubbing fighters. He did do rather well against the highly regarded Layne so it's possible his attributes carry him through this lot too. Schmeling to my mind would be quite interesting.
I believe the key for one of them beating Rocky is being able to hurt him, Baer and Schmeling could do that I think
