Prime Rocky Marciano vs Prime George Chuvalo

No you don't, I was just pointing out 27lbs is a lot of weight to concede and 4 of those were heavier than Rocky generally scaled, and all good boxers which Rocky was not.Having said that I pick Rocky.
Corletti was192lbs Chuvalo was 20/21years old when he lost by split dec to King

Chuvalo puts up a good fight as he always did, but Marciano is the one walking away with it. He's better in every aspect but chin.

 

Well, if anyone can do it, it's a GC!

 

Potato, potato.

 

That's like saying Joe Frazier didn't throw his left hook very often.

 

Rocky on workrate.

 

Quite right you dont, but you might have to be good boxer, as above, and for all his vast quailtys, and there were many, you couldnt label Rocky a good boxer ! that said I also think he would prevail in this match up, not least because Moore was a sort of big man, big of arm and legs, solid and chunky torso, and Rocky overcame Archie, but I do see the fight going deep, poss outcome Chuvalo being stopped on cuts, as opposed to taking the count.

 

These two have the same style basically. They're both cement-headed pressure fighters with high-stamina. But Marciano was busier and made fair use of his jab. Chuvalo could be passive at times, and just stalk throwing nothing. Marciano wins a decision in a roughhouse fight.

 

George would have made Rocco work for the win, but the Rock would have come away with the win, either on points or late stoppage. Rocky was just better.

 

OK
