Wladimir Klitschko vs. Rocky Marciano

Those that think rocky won't be able to hit Wlad don't know boxing. How did Dempsey hit Willard? How did Moore ko much larger hwts? How did tiny Mickey Walker knock out hwts? Now watch Wlad fall in sections looking like he wants to quit THREE times all against really poor competition....certainly not all time greats and Purity was a bum. Yet rocky Marciano can't even hit Wlad on the chin? Not only does he hit Wlad but he knocks him out. A fighter with no chin and no heart is not beating Marciano.

 

Don't like what we're saying here, dingbat? I suggest you shoot yourself in protest.

 

Tell me,If Wladimir is so full of skill.
How come he lost 3 times to nobody's coming up?
How come since he's become champ,HW's aren't big main events anymore?


The FACT is Marciano is a far greater HW then Wladimir will ever be.

 

Wlad lost 3 times while he was coming up. After that, he changed his style and has made one of the longest unbeaten streaks a heavyweight has ever done. 8.5 years. Wlad's unbeaten streak has been longer than Marciano's career. During his peak, Wlad has been much better than when he lost against Sanders or Brewster.

HWs aren't big main events anymore. Ok. What does that have anything to do with Wladimir Klitschko? HBO is the company in charge of producing those events. If they can't appeal to the american market, it's their problem.

 

He wasn't "coming up" in any of those fights. Especially the Brewster and Sanders fight. He had Steward in his corner for the Brewster fight and was a titlist in the Sanders fight.

Wlad is nothing, a nobody. He fights 40 year olds, hepatitis patients, and complete bums in his "prime." His caliber of opponents decline hence he's a "much better fighter" ... great logic.

Arms dangling out and back pedaling against much smaller opponents is not skill. Anyone who has ever watched a fight with junior Klit (a challenge to do without falling asleep) knows that he can only throw a grand total of 3 punches and clinches like a coward whenever someone moves within range. He's also liable to tiring out, and it usually happens around round 6 or 7.

 

Chins don't improve over time and no fighter grows courage. You either have good wiskers or you don't. You either have heart and courage or you don't. Wlad showed three times he has neither. Marciano showed many times that he was blessed with both. A mark of an all time great champion.

 

Exactly,Lost once to a absolutely nobody,Lost again and then again,And he's so great? It proves his correct about his mental strength, After one lose he should have changed but that's not it,The level of competition has decreased dramatically to a point where just about every HW contender will not be remembered.

HW's arent big events because although the public may believe the hype in a fight they want to see a SKILLED fight. Even they see Wladimir is a one dimensional fighter,a flat flooted jabber, who beats up bums who can't last 4 rounds. Exciting. Not. If you can't avoid a jab you're not one tenth a fighter of the past. By the way his jab would be useless against Rocky,His side crouch made it near possible to jab or he would just block it with his right(Which was always near his head) then just goto school.

 

How come he's in the midst of a 6 year reign at the top of the division in one of the best reigns in hw history.

So David Tua is also a glass jawed bum?

 

Never said Wlads a bum. He is just not an all time great fighter..no chin and he cries for his mommy when hurt. Aside from this he does not possess all time great skills.
Wlad = walking statue.

 

A walking statue who has sat atop the division for a longer period of time than all but a small handful of men.

 

Fighting primarily European crap hwts in the worst era of hwt talent in my lifetime.

 

Nobody cares he's beating an endless string of nobody's. It does not define a great champion. Thats his only claim to being a great fighter. Its sad.
Even Manny acknowledged that his opponents lacked and skill or ambition a few years back and since then they have only gotten worse.

Mayweather could fight giys like Vivian Harris and Paul Maclosky 3 times a year but he wouldn't get an ounce of respect for it.

 

I'm probably getting "trolled" by some guys who are giggling behind their pc right now.

But if Wlad had no heart and no courage, why did he continue after his third upset?
He had totally zero money troubles, he could have liven an easy life.
He came back instead.

 

it takes a great to dominate a division like he has done.
