Nicolay Valuev vs Rocky Marciano

Valuev feeds Marciano with his jabs and crosses, keeping Marciano off-balanced. Marciano isn't strong or fast enough to break Valuev's chin. Marciano would be severly cut after the first rounds that would end the bout or Valuev's hard cross does the job.

 

Not strong enough :huh ,are we talking about the same rocky mate?,he was a seriously strong guy,id also say valuev has never been hit as hard or as by as many punches as marciano,i dont personaly think he could take it,but 5 rounds is far to early,maybe about round 9 for rocky to finish him.

 

But surley you cant be saying that Chagaev who beat him would have a prayer against marciano?,or ruiz who in all probability beat valuev.Size does not alone mean much,look at jess willard and primo carnero both huge men,but neither that great,they got destroyed by far smaller men.

 

Chagaev won against Valuev because of his fast hooks and ability to slip Valuev's jab.
Chagaev had 228lbs,6'1''; Marciano had 185lbs,5'10''.
Valuev showed against Chagaev that he got an ironchin although Chagaev kept landing sharp left hooks.
Marciano's power simply isn't good enough to floor Valuev.

 

Willard and Carnero were worse than Valuev. Valuev's basics are there. Subtract Foreman's chin and power and he'd never been champ.

 

Ruiz is 4 inches and 50lbs bigger than Marciano.

Rocky Marciano is not Rocky Balboa.

 

Makes me wonder why there are weightclasses at all.

Why don't we send Manny Pacquiao in with Winky Wright? Pacman may have some chance.

 

atsch :silly

 

Yes,get lost please.

Kush kush, away you go!
