This is a no brainer.. Vitali TKO inside 5 rounds.. Marciano is simply too small and too primitve to do anything against Vitali, Vitali's lean back and counter technique would be a nightmare for the Rocky.. Klitschko's unorthodox offense would carve the rock up aswell....
Marciano is the first person since Lewis to stand up to Vitali. He's been to war multiple times, gone through fire and hell, and his shoulder was healthy enough for him to tell the story. Vitali is perplexed with his style, unable to hit his target easily... Vitali moves foward to try to press his size advantage against this "tiny midget," but gets struck by one of the hardest punches he's ever been hit with in his career... Vitali's dignity is high enough, and his mentality is tough enough, to pretend this challenger could not hurt him nor get past his size... For his effort, he receives the first recorded knockdown of his career... At this point, Marciano knows he can hurt his man, and despite the strength of his opponent, continues to press foward, using his underrated, and unpredictable defense to a great advantage, ducking and slipping the majority of a now apprehensive and retreating Vitali, while simeltaneously throwing hard counter punches. Vitali eventually crumbles under the pressure in the late rounds and doesn't come off his stool... Marciano wins by TKO.
Great as he was, Marciano would be much too small to compete against the modern super heavies. He'd be a cruiserweight today.
How tall and how much did Primo Carnera weigh before he was brutally knocked out by Joe Louis? What makes you think Rocky can't knock out Vitali when Louis knocked out a bigger man than Vitali... What did Dempsey do to 6 foot 6, 240 lb Jess Williard? You see what I'm sayin? Special small guys can hit...they got the speed of a small man, and the power of a heavy... Those are some of the most fearsome guys in the division... Vitali is not known for his speed...Marciano will hit him...Vitali also has had multiple problems with his body...Marciano will be so low, that it will put a significant strain on Vitali... He'll get countered continually... If he uses his size to smother Marciano, the beating would be worse because it would give Marciano an opportunity to get within his long arms and land some overhand rights... The fact is, the only great fighter Vitali fought...he lost to...
Lol at delusional people picking Marciano atsch He's been into wars and always found a way to win. Tell you what, if they put the likes of those old 190 lbr guys in front of either of the Klits, there wouldn't have been any wars to start it. It would be massacre. Against Wlad, Marciano would get jabbed and bloodied until the referee sees enough by the start of the 5th.
Marciano has to jump to hit Vatali's face. It should have been Marciano v.s. Tyson. It's a lot easier to imagine than the first one.
