    A bit different when you have a slow lumbering giant against a fast agile HW. Wlad is a very athletic and skilled boxer, he wouldn't have any trouble at all with Marciano.

    oh Yep of course of course. He'll just KO him because he's so big even though Marciano has beaten bigger men before. Taken a shot right on the chin from Joe Louis. Never been hurt in a fight. Only knocked down twice in his career which he jumped straight back up. Fought a better skilled fighter in Ezzard Charles,Walcott and defensive master Moore.

    Boxer is all physical! I get it now.

    Size doesn't matter at all.... I suppose Floyd Mayweather would have a chance at beating Wladamir despite weighing almost 100 lbs less than him...

    Mayweather isn't a HW so we can't make comparisons but I would bet the house he would have a extremely hard time hitting him. Small guy like Mayweather could run all night,KO? No but survive yes.

    Marciano was smaller than a lot of CW today. he would be at an extreme disadvantage when facing a guy like Wlad.

    Wlad is 6'6
    Rocky was 5'11

    Wlads reach is 81 in
    Rockys reach was 67 in

    Rocky weighed about 185
    Wlad weighs around 245


    Wlad would easily overpower Marciano and keep him at bay with his jab and reach advantage, if Marciano got in too close Wlad would simply push him off of him or lean on him. Wlad would keep his distance landing his jab at will along with 1-2s, I doubt Marciano would make it to the mid rounds even. Wlad KO 5.

    I reading your posts MagnaNasakki and they are great to read.But you now saying that you never hurt in pro career.I read your older post where you are saying that you never turn pro.Here is that post:
    First time I ever sparred a big name was when George Foreman came to the gym I helped run with my father-in-law. After failing to make the 88 Olympic team, I neglected some nice offers to turn pro(I was not the most talented fighter, but I hit like a mother****er) to try to start my family right, and just never got around to it. Years and years later I'm no longer fighting but training 6 days a week operating a facility, and George Foreman came in wanting to work out. We let him, but he wanted to spar, and we had nothing but kids 185 and below. Big George looks at me and says,

    "You're a very large fella, friend, would you work with me?"

    We sparred a couple rounds, he signed me as a partner for 3 straight camps, which allowed me to leap frog to other camps and get work.

    It's always exciting to spar the best. I always got mess for never having turned pro, but I fought Lennox Lewis in the amateurs, as well as Riddick Bowe as we were both NY boys, and could box a bit, and bang alot. I was a pretty popular fella throughout the 90's in the gym. Even got to go oversea's in the new millenium and work.
    Please explain that.

    You think Rocky is like the other people Wlad has face? Rocky fights from a crouch something Wladimir has never faced and is a pressure fighter something he faced in Peters and he looked terrible. Rocky will not let Wladimir set up his jab and if he did his crouch position enables him to go low which would make Wladimir miss setting him up for crouch spring body shots which would hurt him and discourage Wladimir. All night jab - go low,wear him down and finish him.

    That fact that this thread has 1500+ replies is proof that classic isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Even the General forum would laugh this thread out :patsch

    I was rather afraid of my identity going public and ruining posting for me. Fibbed some elements of my personal backstory to make sure nothing lined up perfectly and big "I figured it out!" threads started popping up. I wasn't really a member of the community back then I've since come to the conclusion that it's not espionage and if somebody figures it out in private, great. People here like to talk boxing beyond my own experiences, which is what I'm here for.

    Mr. Lefe, I indeed lied in that post. My apologies, sir, if that offends you. If I need to set the record straight further with ya, PM me and I'll be glad to do so.

    I was on to you a long time ago...Ive worked with guys in and around the pro game and most attuidues towards k2 is the opposite of what you preach..... You claim Brewster is a personal friend in one post but in another you claim you never conversed with him about the biggest win of his career against Wlad and one of the biggest upsets from the past ten years? What did ye talk about , curtins?.....Ive seen you cop out of a few personal questions in that thread that was brought up....If you wanted to shield your idenity you should of not talked about it in the fullest detail. Its extremly ignorant to want to have it both ways...From all your supposed years in boxing there should be nothing holding you back from just objectivily talking box without claims of how you got the best of George Foreman or how you think Marciano is a puzzle you think you could solve.
