    Easy night for Rocky. Chris is slow, flat footed, no head movement, leaky defense, doesn't throw a lot of combinations, non existent jab. What he does have is a solid chin, good power, decent fundamentals, good variety of punches, and good stamina for a flabby guy.

    Rocky by lopsided decision. I can't see Rocky flooring Chris since Chris took massive bombs from Vitali, Stiverne, and Wilder without going unconscious. Rocky would crowd him constantly and make his reach a liability as he would be unable to really fight on the inside and lacks the jab to keep him off and a solid uppercut to discourage him. Chris cannot fight backing up and has non existent lateral movement. Very slim puncher's chance for Chris, but I wouldn't bet a single rusty penny.

    Marciano would knock Arreola out.

    Rocky Marciano is probably turning in his grave right now!

    I can almost picture Arreola’s fat rippling like the waves of the ocean when Rocky rips him to the body!! Mercy stoppage by the Ref here as Rocky is teeing off.

    Marciano vs Andy Ruiz is way more competitive.

    Not really fair to put Rocky against someone with such a modern waistline.
