Does A Prime Marciano Beat The Joshua Of Today?

Rocky fought many people who were bigger than him and didn't have to punch like Wlad. It's a style thing, not an opponent thing.

Wilder is someone who swings for the fences while fighting the same kind of opponents as Wlad.

 

No.

But if you look at the results of his fights, and the condition of his opponents, it looks like a SHW monster traveled through a time machine and ravaged the division.

 

Yes Wlad had more physical power, I grant you, but it's not so easy utilising it against such an awkward low down target. Think of Carnera, he hit guys his own size right through the canvas but he just could not nail shorter guys so easily.

Wilda himself, for all his power was a lot more like "Bambi on ice" when he got hit back though.

 

Wilder opposition has been some way below Primo Carnera too.

 

Yes. I think you need to demonstrate toe to toe. You seem confused. Joshua could not break through when Wlad had ring centre. It was nothing to do with brute force, it was to do with holding the centre and boxing. No power or durability came into it. This is a boxing forum, and what I am telling you here is text book explanation of boxing. For you to say "no" like that just shows you either have no argument or this strategy explanation is way over your head. It's a pity because boxing is not rocket science.

 

Wlad was/is an athlete. Carnera was a sideshow. Wlad had balance, coordination, extension... a great transfer of power through his whole body. Carnera was just a lug. His size didn't transfer into great power, as is often the case with the overgrown type.

Since this thread is about Marciano, I need to ask, was Wlad ever put on the canvas by a lightheavy?

 

Do you really want me to do that math and compare height, weight and records between Rocky's opponents and Waldo's? Really? I don't think you'd appreciate the numbers. But then again, you have your alternative facts.

 

I agree with this but I think that the biggest difference is that Wlad, due to his size and technique, didn't need to sell out on his punches to dominate and stop his opponents, whereas Marciano did.

 

No.

 

Just the other night you apologised when you discovered impelletiere had more fights than is listed on Boxrec, but today he was a four fight novice again. How so?

Campolo beat Arturo Godoy. He was no muppet.
