Heavyweight Greatness: Wladimir Klitschko vs Rocky Marciano

Marciano would have almost zero chance..Wladimir is a lock for ATG, HOF'er.

 

--------

Marciano.

Rocky is undefeated / Wlad lost in his prime against shitty fighters.

Wlad has more quantity, Rocky has better quality and beat several #1 contenders, who were former champions and hall of famers (past their prime, though).

I rank Marciano as my #5 HW of all time. Wlad is in the lower part of the Top10.

 

Wlad, easy. Marciano had only 6 title defenses.

 

atsch My bad. Of course it does. Thanks for pointing that out.

Marciano had only 6 title defenses in cruiserweight division.

 

In America? Rocky, easy.

 

if they'd have faced eachother, Wlad would have won, Marciano was the same size as Mormeck...

Wlad would've outjabbed the **** out of Marciano and wouldn't let him near his chin

 

Marciano

 

SHUT THE **** UP. Most of the guys Marciano fought were over 200 anyway. Which IS NOT CRUISER. You ass.

 

H2H: Klitschko

P4P: Marciano by a kilometer and not even debatable.

HW rank: Marciano, but it's semi-debatable I suppose. I understand those who don't rate Marciano as highly as I do. However, Marciano's top 10 wins dwarf Klitschko's. And when looking at the rest of their resumes, even if Klitschko gets the edge their, it is not enough to compensate for the difference of their top opposition, where Marciano blows Wlad out of the water... Staying undefeated as a HW says a lot. Or staying undefeated on the world stage at all says a lot.

 

38 of his 49 opponents were under 200 pounds.

 

What are Marciano's and Wlad's top 10 wins...curious to what you think and could be fun to compare.

 

I am gonna go count that, cause I don't know if that's right. Regardless, Marciano did what he had to do. There were no 260 pounds heavies around. I mean, a couple, but not a lot.

EDIT: Okay, he did fight a lot of guys under 200. Still doesn't change the fact that's how it was back then.

 

It is, I wouldn't have posted it just for fun. A few were right at the 200 mark, as well.

 

:nono We do not deal with facts on this board
