    How do you see this one going?

    Lubbers gave Ali a tough fight for a few rounds, would he be too much for prime Marciano ?

    Lubbers had an all-time great jab, or at least he knocked The Greatest's head back with it or several occasions.

    Marciano was possibly more difficult to hit clean with a jab but he was no pure slickster himself.
    Lubbers wasn't big but he was easily as big as Marciano.

    Absolutely.. In addition to being an excellent fighter himself, Rudi was born twenty years later than Marciano, automatically making him the favorite.

    If the fight took place in 73 rocky was already dead so lumbers would be in with a chance.

    I assume this question is some unfunny joke?

    No.. It's serious.. Rudi lubbers might have been an average joe in nineteen seventythree. But placed in a time machine and taken back to nineteen FIFTYthree, his name would have gone down with the greats and starting with a KO of Rocky Marciano.

    Lubbers was an ATG.. The Netherlands never produced a better heavyweight.

    Lubbers would rule today's heavyweight division.

    Rudi Lubbers is considered by some to be the Dutch Jack Sharkey.
