    Who do you guys have winning this matchup between Marciano and the giant Valuev?

    How do you guys see it playing out?

    Marciano by wide UD. Valuev would miss all night long while Marciano counter punches back. Valuevs ATG chin keeps him up there.

    This fight would be uglier than sin. But, Marciano would take it on points.

    Valuev's percentage of punches landed would be in the single digits.

    Let's be realistic. Valuev would be 14 inches taller and close to 150 lbs heavier. He would keep Rocky off of him and win a decision, probably a boring one.

    This is a poll, requiring its own thread. The order in which threads appear change dynamically based on recent activity. So I don't know what thread you're referring to. Your feedback is not helpful. The irony is you asking for reduced convolution, when you are the one creating it.

    People on here underestimate how hard it is for a 7' fighter to punch down at a 5'10 wrecking ball who is constantly bobbing and weaving as well as throwing leaping left hooks. Alot harder to find that mark then it is for him to find a big 300lbr who is fighting on the back foot.

    Same applies for super heavies

    Why would Valuev be fighting on the back foot? You lose more power punching up than you do punching down.Try it!

    I'm thinking Marciano UD. Valuev was incredibly tough and huge but equally slow and blundering by comparison. Honestly I'd not want to watch this match.
