    I can say Marciano was beaten several times in unlisted fights but if I can't produce proof of it its BS!
    What Vingo might have weighed is hypothetical, we are talking actualities.

    Marciano starches that fraud, early. Wilder has faced the most pathetic "opposition" ever for a rated fighter. He can take out the limited tomato cans he's faced, and - barely - take their punches, but a real fighter like the Rock would destroy him.

    Given what we have seen of Wilder so far, I'll take Rocky. Still, Wilder could be better than he is given credit for ... if he ever fights Povetkin we will find out.

    Yes as he stands he is,"a work in progress", but his selection of opponents is not encouraging.

    This is stupid.....They are completely two different weight classes....Marciano was actually a small cruiserweight and Wilder is a huge heavyweight.....It is like Leo Santa Cruz fighting Gennady Glolovkin....Both are great fighters but no contest.

    Wilder is horrible and making a mockery of his belt.

    AND I DID THIS THREAD MONTHS AGO.

    There are light-heavyweights around today who would knock Wilder out.

    Look at the record of George Foreman before winning the title.

    Only if he was in hand cuffs or a straight jacket.

    Wilder is such a pathetic fighter, with such a pathetic chin, and such a pathetic defense, that this is one matchup where I think Rock can overcome the huge size edge.

    He KO's Wilder.

    Wilder is a HORRIBLE fighter.

    That's a stupid comparison. Santa Cruz is merely a good fighter. GGG is an elite one.

    This is a case of an all time great vs a bum. Literally, Wilder is a sub-par fighter.

    The Marciano right hand that flattened Walcott would do the same to Wilder. Wilder has the chin of a child. If that no-name palooka he fought in his last fight had ability finishing ability, Wilder would have been KO'd.

    A bum? A sub-par fighter? You're getting carried away there, pal. The guy is an athletic 6'7 giant with ATG punching power. A Bronze medalist and 34 (33) - 0 as a pro including a big recent win over Stiverne.

    Why is a guy who has the balance of a newborn fawn labeled "athletic"?

    Does he high jump over his opponents? Does he outsprint them to the ropes? I don't get what this sh*t means.
