Moses Itaumu vs. Rocky Marciano

Come on Seamus, I hope you're just trolling. Mariciano fought guys like Itauma all of the time and had lots of experience with them. Itauma at 6-4.5, 255, faster than a welterweight, and a southpaw would be nothing RM hadn't seen many times before on the New England circuit where "The Rock" cut his teeth against rugged competition. On the other hand, a 5-10, 185, slow, right hander would be new to Itauma. And, don't forget the slick tricks of RM, crossing his rear feet when he moved, falling off balance when he missed a punch to make his opponent over confident, and defensive prowess that was only discovered years later by people breaking down his fights on You Tube with music playing in the background. Itauma will never be able to handle that smoke!

Seamus, I thought you were a boxing guy but here you're picking an athletic, bigger, stronger, faster guy over a guy who beat Rex Layne, Carmine Vingo, and Don Cockell. Disappointing.

 

Only on the deck once in his20 fights as an amateur, that was ruled a non KD and he was 14 and his opponent16 and Itauma won.
The lightest man Itauma has beaten was 220lbs,
Of the 49 opponents Rocky faced,24 were under 190lbs,17 under 185lbs,and 7, 175lbs or under.
I hope we are having this conversation,in a year or two's time. Then,if he is still unbeaten and in shape,Itauma,currently 254lbs to Rocky's185./188lbs.might just be a bridge too far for the
" Mighty Midget Marciano"

 

Marciano by KO !

it's not with a knockout against Dempsey Mckean that I see Marciano lose against Moses Itauma. He didn't proof nothing to be legendary like that.

 

Marciano mangles the crusher of internet influencers and keyboard twiddlers. Itauma comes from an era of low-T manlets, filled with soy, preservatives, and shame. To match Itauma against a man fueled by good, old-fashioned organic lasagna is almost cruel. Something, something, child bearing hips.

Rocky KO 3.

 

I'd like to add the move Tyson caught Williams with, that little hook off the inside slip is a very quick movement, it never feels like you turn over it all the way when you do it, I doubt Marciano would pull off and take advantage of Car Williams low right hand.

 

Pat you go too far Saint Marciano had a pretty good defence, it was ugly but he did well and Goldman made a helluva fighter, helluva little HW (by todays standards) but around 190lbs that was a machine and I'll die on the hill that he knew his stuff when it came to getting in, fighting in and his defence being quite a bit better then say a Bonavena and Chuvalo type he was "rock" solid overall at fighting short.

 

Sad. Wach used to be a dangerous outing ... about 100 years ago. I hope he's stashed away his money.
