    Exlent video. However it would not mater how hard Marciano could hit if he were to face Lenox Lewis or Wald Klithiko he would not have the chance to land.

    I genuinely believe Clinton Woods would have given Marciano one of his 5 toughest fights.

    He fought Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott and Archie Moore 5 times, so which of those do you think Woods is better than?

    I'm a big Woods fan, but he is miles behind those three. Absolutely nowhere near their class.

    Reach and the abiility to use it is the bigest advantage in boxing. Being able to hit frm a rang at which your opoent no matter how fast or how hard they hit trumps both of those advantages. Not all tall rangy boxers know how to take advantage of their size, but those who do like Lenox Lewis and Wald Klitchiko for example would pick Marciano apart with their jab.
    Before you try to tell me that Marciano would only need to land one punch and good nite and point out that Lewis and Klitchiko had been ko'd by boxers no where near the level of Marciano. Allow me to point to you that the boxers who ko'd Lewis and Wald while your right they were not on Marciano's talent level. However they were all good punchers and all were biger than Marciano. Mass plays a large part in derterming punching power. Marciano's big wins came against opoents who were close to his own size. It is highly dobutful he could preduce enough power with one punch to score a ko.

    Walcott for sure and he is at least on par with an old Moore.

    What time do the pubs open there?

    Have you been into the sauce?

    IMO, Of the modern era fighters, Marciano loses to Ali, Louis, Lewis, Foreman and (maybe) Holmes. I might add Wlad to that list,depending on how he develops.

    Other than that, I would favour Marciano over any other heavywt.

    Woods would be brutally annhialated.

    He would be into a new level of pain, even from shots he blocked.

    China_Hand_Joe is just trolling. I never understood why people take him seriously.

    Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Akinwande.

    He might beat Tua and Ruiz however.

    That wouldn't work for him. He worked because of his workrate, 210 would take some of his game away. he'd just have to be a cruiser.

    Any sensible person would believe it to be common sense, however clearly to some it is not. Rocky Marciano would surely arrive in the ring wearing a red cape, and would proceed to obliterate opponent after opponent regardless of size or ability. He would drink gasoline in between rounds, and give his opponents 10 free shots before humiliating them. He could beat every ATG heavy of the modern era with ease, as he simply defies reality. My Hero.

    You know that is something that I hadn't thought of. Nevertheless I think Marciano still catches these big heavyweights with flush right hands. The glove being bigger might play a role but them dogging it and looking to grab by the 6th is still going to happen. So maybe more than 1 clean right hand. Same result though!

    Marciano's power. Well he has some but it isn't going to walk around one hitting everyone. Most the time he required accumulation. He'd be killed by the shakey chinned Wlad and average chinned Lewis as it is ridiculously unlikely he would KO either of them.

    Little bitty Joe Gans was just verily outpointed in a war with Sam Langford (who terrorized Jack Johnson) and Ganns hardly had any sleep because he had to take a train cross country.

    We have seen what Toney can do against the big boys and we have seen what the harder hitting, harder working Marciano did against guys who were mostly over 6'

    I noticed that Toney wouldn't get into the ring with Wladimir and most likely never will, smart man that James Toney is.
