    Opetaia obliterates Marciano, Marciano has never fought a raw fighter on Opetaia's level except Louis who was a past prime fighter...

    It would be a fun fight while it lasted, but, Marciano would wear him down in the end. If scheduled for 15, Marciano likely gets the stoppage.

    Huck and Glowacki were solid, not mention arguably giving Usyk his toughest and closest fight.

    Glowacki
    Dorticos
    Huck
    Mickaeljan (admittedly dodgy)
    Durodola
    Charr
    Perez
    Mann
    Ventner

    It's not a bad record.

    But I of course agree Marciano grinds him down.

    That perfectly describes Marciano's record.

    Marciano doesn't have the feet or quicks to keep up with Opetaia who is also much larger and likely hits harder than the Latinate attrition puncher.

    Id take Marciano by UD, maybe stoppage over 15, havent really seen much from Opetaia but idk how durable he truly is

    Prime Marciano is objectively faster than the Briedis that Opetaia fought.
