Rocky is outweighed by 130 pounds, I think Valuev takes this one quite easily. He's not that unskilled.
I think some posters are going out on a limb think Rocky KO's Val...I can see a UD but I would lean towards Val winning an SD. At 5'10 Rocky would go through a world of hell.
I don't think much of him either but I still see Val's size as a problem, as great as Rocky was his greatest win was against a washed up version of Joe Louis. It would be a close one, it wouldnt be an easy task for either man.
This really amazes me. If a fighter moves up from 140 to 147, a whopping 7 pounds, he all over sudden is in deep waters. But for Rocky Marciano even 130 pounds do not matter.
A prime Tyson at 215-220 lbs is biger than Marciano at 184,1/2-189 lbs. Tyson also has beter defence. That being said Tyson would face the same difculities that Marciano would face. I find it difcult picking anyone but Lenox Lewis to defently beat Tyson but I could see Valuev beating Tyson.
Styles make fights and Chagaev has a whole different style than Marciano. Marcianos come forward style is ideal for Valuev, he has problems with boxer type fighters who pick their shots, stick and move, but Marciano is easy prey and he could never hurt Valuev that's for sure.

Marciano is'nt a simple come forward fighter. He is a come forward, hit you and you fall down fighter. Valuev who I like would lose emphatically. For the person who said Valuev would beat Tyson i honour you on your stupidity.
He hasn't fought or beat anyone good and was loseing to Mcline before he tore his knee up, he also got a gift agianst an old Larry Donald as well as huggy bear Ruiz and he was also hurt badly in the first round of his fight with feather fisted washed up 35yr old Monte Barrett. peak Tyson would would destroy him in 5 rounds as for Rocky he would simply wear this freak down before he KTFO of Valuev who is trash like you said. size don't matter unless the fighter are evenly skilled just look what happened when Cannera Fought Joe Louis he had a 5 or 6 inches and 60 to 70 pounds on Louis but got KTFO.
