    Look we can only argue what we saw and know about them. No matter which way we look at it Rocky dominates in every aspect of the ring. Power,Balance,Skill,Stamina,Opposition he's just too superior. Wladimir was KO'd by bums and people who could only KO bums. Rocky was never KO'd and was never hurt in the ring.

    Rocky statistically,factually,observationally the superior fighter.

    Rocky has much much more respect then Wladimir Klitschko and always will. Name some experts who hold Wladimir higher then Marciano? Forum people like Seamus and Absolutely dont count.

    In Wladimirs own words "They said he was shot" and he's correct but he was also fat,old and lost interested in boxing but still sparked Wladimir. What we can conclude is that he can't take a punch as well as his physical presence suggests which is why he's safety first.

    KO'd by bum beaters and safety first means he's suspect against heavy hitters and they don't hit harder then Marciano.

    That doesn't make sense besides KO'ing a bum is not a indicator of true world class HW power. Sam Peters is a good example. Who did he hurt exactly at the top level after destroying all those bums? Nothing. Next time you wanna talk numbers make sense because what you said makes zilch.

    Wladimir holds and leans way way more in Germany then he ever did in the USA.Why? Because he's in total control. Only logical explanation unless you're going to tell me something else?

    It is relevant. If everyone thinks the sky is blue because we see blue. Wladimir just stands still and jabs. He is able to get away with this because the opponents are so big they have no lateral movement or the aerobic capatic to constantly move,bend and just give up.

    They relie more on their muscle and size to win rather then their spirit and mind.

    He did and smashed the 254 giant too. He was so big he was easy to hit. 200lb+ Lee Savold,Joe Louis,Don ****ell and plenty of others.

    Behind Young Foreman. What I mean't in regards to slaughter is that Sanders and Brewster smashed him to pieces and they were bums. Marciano is a ATG in punching power and stamina, if we take these two components put them into a ring with a fighter who was KO'd by bums he would be slaughtered.

    You don't need too I will.

    "no way can you conclude that Rock has better balance than a modern HW by ANY twist of words or facts"
    He was never KO'd by big men 200+ 220+ 250+ infact he was never put on the floor by them either so what you're saying is laughable which in your own words "Rocky was balanced agreed. Rocky's balance would be shattered if he got roughed up by a modern HW" As you can see this is incredibly wrong.


    You said his he would only be unbalance if he was hit by a modern HW fighter but you agreed apart from that he was balanced. Ok the first thing is he was never hurt by big men as I stated above,second thing with regards of him never being hurt by big men he would maintain his balance throughout the fight.

    Now if we look at Wladimir vs David Haye he was off balance on multiple occasions and that was due to Haye being smaller and moving.

    Now if we look at the evidence is it clear that Rocky has the superior balance and that Wladimir will have a hard time hitting him.

    Jeez o pete another 'different eras' matchup. You're all tired of hearing my 'era' mantra but please! A prime 1952 Wlad vs. a prime 2002 Rock? We could go on and on. In my limited opinion the ONLY legitimate 'era' comparison would be between prime fighters 10-15 years apart. That being said, a 1962 prime Marciano-Frazier might well have been the greatest fight of all time! My somewhat limited $0.02

    Wlad has a good style with which to withstand Rocky, but winning is another matter. His size is oni his side because it helps keep rocky away from his chin so he has a good chance BUT the big bogie is his chin, which needs a split second to crack.

    Marciano doesn't actually land very often with his wild style but he has KO power. Will he land? It only needs to be once. That's Wlad big bogie.

    Marcianos problem is closing the gap. Can he close the gap over 12 rounds? Wlad needs to keep him at bay and keep jabbing all that time to win, since Rocky wont tire in the way that Wlads usual fatboys do. Wlad cant unload until Rocky tires, the risk is too great. But that dosnt mean he cant win it on points. I don't think Wlad hits enough in his run away mode to hurt Rocky for TKO either.

    These comparison's are utterly pointless, as was said above you can maybe go a couple of decades back to compare otherwise you are comparing a giant to a relative midget and the giant is supposed to run..

    Lets see EXACTLY who these bugs and earwigs were that were beaten by Marciano, and weighed 240+, stood 6'6" with an 81" reach.

    I suspect they were the kind of **** that either Klitchko would only use to carry their spit buckets.
