Could Larry Holmes or Rocky Marciano beat Deontay Wilder?

At this point in his career either of those men would have won. Both had the skills to get the job done. If Wilder is able to make adjustments to his style I may change my opinion

 

I feel as if Marciano vs Wilder would look something akin to Hagler vs Hearns (not to compare Tommy Hearns to Deontay Wilder, they're on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to punch accuracy)

Holmes outboxes Wilder no question. Wilder would have all sorts of problems with that perfect jab and no question in my mind that Shavers hits harder than Wilder (and every boxer ever)

 

Holmes clowns the living sh*t out of him and wins every round.

Marciano got hit too much. Getting hit too much by Wilder is not a good idea.

 

Actually, I feel as if Wilder would have all sorts of problems with Marciano's crouch defense, especially for the windmill right

 

Holmes would spank him .. Rocky way too small ...

 

Who has Wilder beat to ever consider him beating Holmes or Marciano. Come on Mark it's getting beyond tiresome

 

I see Marciano getting low, (esp since Wilder doesn't know when to, or really how to use the uppercut) Focus his attack to staying close , going to the body, breaking Wilder down, stopping Wilder late. Holmes would completely and comprehensively school Wilder, beat him worse than Marciano would.

 

Holmes boxes his ears off imo.

 

Wilder isn't even all that big!

 

However tall and rangy Wilder is, he still only weighs 212 lbs.

That is a manageable weight differential, for a 190lb fighter.

Even the size card, which is the one that can normally be played against Marciano, isn't particularly compelling in this instance!
