    Considering some of the guys who knocked Wlad out, no.

    Probably the best argument I've seen for Marciano in this thread.

    It's not really an uncommon opinion. Where do you rank Rocky?

    All threads with Marciano vs Fitzsimmons/Langford/Dempsey/Frazier comparisons combined are shorter than this. Pretty funny ;)

    Nope

    I think Walcott would beat him. Charles would have a chance. A raw Wlad might lose to hard punching Layne or Eddie Ross.

    This is assuming he adjusts to the 15 round era. If he doesnt increase his stamina and drop a lil weight, might be even more suspect

    As a heavyweight ? About 11th or 12th.

    Superior arsenal of punches?Like a great jab, ko left hook, and a booming right hand.
    Marciano was arguably beaten by a 50% winning record journeyman who weighed around180lbs. How does 5 feet 10 and a bit Rocky ,head butt 6 feet 6 Wlad? Does he climb on the referee's shoulders to do it?
    Marciano's best wins are over .
    A 32 years old guy with over a 100 fights on his clock, a fighter who was better at lightheavy.
    A 38 years old Champ who needed 4 attempts to win the title and retired immediately after his fights with Rocky.
    A 37 years old,past it ex champ who was fighting because he was broke,and retired mmediately after their fight.
    A 39 years old guy who again was better at light heavyweight.
    Does Cokkell go 9 rds with Wlad?
    Does Lastarza go 11rds?
    Moore 9rds?
    Wlad has 8 inches in height on Rocky,13 inches in reach, and over 50lbs in weight,think about that for a moment.

    I think Walcott and Charles were more skilled than all of Wlad`s opponents.

    I think both Walcott and Charles get stopped by Wlad.
