    Hard to say. Both fighters are hard punchers. I will say Marciano had the toughest chin ever in boxing. Don't think anyone else comes close to his chin. If those two fought, i think Beterbiev wouldn't be able to take Marciano's punches.

    Marciano's power is underrated.

    Wait to see after Beter has 49 fights. He'd be 70 by then.

    Marciano. A small HW who routinely KOed larger fighters.

    I'm going to go with the guy who went 49-0 against competition bigger and stronger than Beterbiev, some of whom Marciano bulldozed through for 15 rounds.

    Marciano hit harder, Beterbiev hit better.

    Ask Jersey Joe Walcott about Marciano's power late in the fight. Dimwit.

    Archie Moore and Ezzard Charles are better than anyone Beterbiev has fought, and to be honest, better than Beterbiev. They are ATGs, the types of which, the boxing world no longer possesses. Yes, they moved up to heavyweight and they were not prime against Marciano, but they were crafty veterans who could easily destroy most, if not all, of the current HW, CW, and LHW divisions.

    He's dead.

    How TF am I supposed to ask a dead person a question?

    Dimwit indeed(!)

    Christ! More Marciano nonsens. Beterbiev is levels over RM in almost every aspect.

    So were many of Marciano's opponents. Look how it turned out for them.

    Please.... Marcianos opponents were old, shot lightheavyweights and 3 raters. Wake up to reality, Pals. ;)

    Wuauh, someone who can act coherent. Marciano would have trouble finding job as a sparringpartner for todays lightheavyweights, he was that incredible bad.
