Wladimir Klitschko vs. Rocky Marciano

Marciano's mealy, welterweight back musckles would tear from the bone were he to try to duck and crouch at 200 and get caught doubled over with Walso leaning on him. Game ****ing over. A horrible idea..

 

And Wlad isn't the best heavy from the past 7 years. Completely untrue
The best fighters in the division are Povektin, Fury , Pulev , Hilienius, Chisora, Arrolea, Banks, Wilder, Malik Scott ... and he hasn't beaten any of them.

 

Tyson was shorter, heavier and was the greatest bob an weaver of all time.
Someboy count seamus out, he's taken to much.

 

come on, we gave you plenty of leeway when you were on the ropes

 

,

I dont know what is more hilarious, your spelling or your boxing knowledge. You have put forth another absolute proclamation of ignorance.

 

"immaculate footwork" haha. Thats a good one. Explain what is immaculate about it?......Where is this footwork when he's getting backed up in straight lines by walking stump Peter's.....He couldn't close the distance or cut the ring off against Haye and landed a pityful average of 12 punches a round......Where's the latteral movement to evade shots when he's under attack?....Holding and jumping on his push bike does not equate to great footwork........He has to plant his feet to get off big shots and cant punch on the move...Another example of not having great footwork.

 

Oh..okay...I get it...

"Wlad has the best footwork, coordination and balance of any fighter I've been with." Emanuel Steward

"If you carefully observe Wladimir, the foundation of his entire boxing strategy is his underrated footwork. Moving in and out while keeping his distance frustrates his opponents and limits their attack." James Gogue

"While Wladimir has always been highly regarded for his offensive weapons, his defensive instincts, mastery of distance, and reflexive footwork have contributed to develop him into one of the top defensive fighters in the sport." Dave Matthew

 

Good not Immaculate. immaculate would mean he has the bestwork a fighter can have which he doesn't.....

 

Immaculate.

“[The loss to Brewster was particularly troubling. Afterward, the Klitschko camp claimed that their fighter had been drugged. Brewster took a contrary view.] Wladimir Klitschko is a great athlete, ... But Wladimir Klitschko is not a great fighter. There's a difference.”

Is Brewster wrong?

 

Every fighter has flaws. All joking aside, no one is saying Wlad is perfect or anywhere near it. If you put Vitali's (or Marciano's) mentality in Wlad's body you would have a damn near unbeatable fighting machine.

The question becomes who best exploits their opponent's weakness while protecting their own. Wlad has been very good at protecting his flaws as a fighter, almost seamless over the past seven years. That constitutes a great run by any measure.

In this particular match-up, I see Wlad's physicality and the way his style employs his physical assets overcoming Marciano's weaknesses long before anything to the contrary would occur.

 

CAnt agree with that. He still doesn't have the chin, stamina or punch variation to be that kind of fighter....

 

He's damn near unbeatable as he is.

The chin thing is largely mental, how he reacts to getting hit flush. He's much better now, as was witness by the big shots Peter was landing in the second fight. Not great, but improved.

He's got more punches in his arsenal that he is given credit for, and what he uses he executes almost flawlessly.
