Rocky Marciano Versus Oleksandr Usyk?

From what I know, so far, about Oleksandr Usyk, I would have to go with Rocky Marciano to win.

 

What would you say we know about Usyk so far and what would we need to find out about him in order to be able to favor him to win?

 

I don’t know. Usyk moves around very well and has excellent boxing skill and conditioning . Good stamina and a solid chin too. He’d also be the biggest opponent Rocky faced aside from Johnny Shkor who I don’t believe was very good. I think Usyk could at least do better than Walcott did

 

That depends on if Usyk is durable enough to withstand Rocky’s blows for extended periods of time, especially to the body. I certainly think he has the skills to make Rocky look silly.

 

He is tho? May 18th I believe. I'm not sure I understand your comment. Also are Fury and Maricano's styles really that similar to you that Usyk vs Fury would determine how you think this fight will go?

 

They’re scheduled for May.

 

What skills do you think Usyk has that the guys Marciano beat didn't? Specifically his most skilled opponents like Walcott, Charles and Moore.

 

More good quality wins, including knockout wins, or at least some good knockdowns over high quality opponents. I think you need a pretty good punch to help hold Rocky off, otherwise the pressure from Rocky would be unbearable, even for someone larger than Marciano.

 

Thanks for answering!

 

You are most welcome!

 

This.

I'll add this...

Walcott dropped Rocky, Usyk would do the same and might follow up better.

 

Will stick my neck out and say Rocky loses against Usyk and it would not even be close.

That is if Marciano is not permitted to throw the rule book away, as he did in so many fights.
