    I do, but I think both were shop worn, or at least not at there best. Size does play a roll in fights. I think Wlad beats them with relative ease as well

    You really think that a 5'11" dude can't headbutt a 6'6" dude. That's kinda sad

    Pretty sure any human being can jump 7".

    Rocky wasn't 5'11".How long do you think his Fireman Jim Flynn impression would last before he was disqualified?

    It Only takes one to knock someone out of gear, and he could play it off as an accident, he'd need a few camps with Holyfield first tho

    Do you have stats? And what about the average age in title fights?

    If Rocky has to rely on a lucky head butt to win he isnt going to do **** in this fight.

    It's pretty heavilly affected by who you decide to include.

    If you include Rex Layne in Rocky's list, it makes it 34.3

    I think Fury should be taken out since Wlad didn't beat him, and include Chris Byrd (who is one of Wlad's best ones), that makes it 31.
    If for some reason you threw in his two wins over Tony Thompson that'd take it up to 32.6

    Well you can’t cherry pick the best ones. Also have to include the Laynes Lastarzas and Cockells of the record.

    That still puts him on an average of 4 years younger than Marciano.And be honest Thompson isn't among his best wins is he?And neither is a fading Byrd.The point is I am right and the other guy is wrong.

    Had Rex Layne turned pro in 2000 we would never know his name.
