Rocky Marciano vs Denis Lebedev

I remain unimpressed by Lebedev. He was unable to win clearly enough against Marco Huck, even if he arguably won. Huck is a very limited fighter, as is Lebedev.

Afterwards he has gone on a senior tour against opponents who certainly did not age as well as Archie Moore or Jersey Joe Walcott.

Right now he doesn't truly deserve to be compared to a Rocky Marciano.

 

Lebedev DOES NOT have the heart to beat Marciano. Any little fire he's got would go out when faced with someone like Rock. I'd bet the house against him!

 

Marciano would do bad things to a fighter like Lebedev. Denis would end up in the hospital with several injuries.

 

Is Lebedev even the best there is today?

 

I would criticize the thread starter, but a long long time ago I predicted that Yoan Pablo Hernandez would stop Jack Dempsey in less than four rounds...

Of course Wayne Braithwaite stopped Hernandez in less than three rounds a few hours later.

 

Didn't one of the juges have a shot Roy Jones beating Lebedev before the stoppage?

 

I don't know about lack of heart but I think he's got a faulty gear shift. That would be a very unfortunate thing to deal with in a fight with Marciano.

Yes, I had a similar moment before old Holmes outclassed young Mercer.

 

great fight like both fighters but i would have to go with rocky. lebedev hasn't really impressed me by beating old out of prime fighters roy jones and james toney. He needs to rematch marco huck to show his one of the best in the world.

 

best thing about this thread is pinkys ass. rocco would disassemble lebedev

 

Marciano would beat him in his current state. Aka having been dead for nearly half a century.
