    9:59: Wallin spins Breazeale around into the corner and pops him in the mouth with a straight left
    29:00 Breazeale tries to trap Wallin on the ropes who leans back avoiding the incoming and then lights Breazeale up
    32:25-35 This sequence illustrates how most of the fight has been. Wallin right in the pocket, picking off Breazeale's shots on his forearms and gloves, and firing back with crisp hard shots that pound Breazeale straight in the cakehole. Great boxing.
    44:40 Nice infighting sequence where both guys land. Wallin can infight.

    Okay, but how is this up close ?
    This is not in the pocket Wallin is literally keeping him at bay with a jab. You cannot keep someone at the end of your jab on the inside, why are you saying stuff like this ?

    Here's what actually happened when both of them were up close in the pocket. They have it slowed down for you

    Straight punches are legitimate punches in boxing wtf are you saying
    Breazeale having his best sequence of the night. So what, did you want him to get beaten up the entire night? Wallin is still firing back with uppercuts btw.

    If Marciano is too small against guys 30lbs heavier and 3-4 inches taller… Norton is in the same camp here too… right? :nusenuse:

    So… would you believe Marciano chops down a 6ft3 220-230lbs boxer?

    This thread has convinced me that Marciano would murder Norton. Norton's extra 25lb are as nothing.

    If Norton is big enough for Fury you must entertain Marciano beating guys the size of Ali.

    Norton is 6'3 and has an 80 inch reach which is the same height as Usyk with a longer reach.

    Not only is Marciano only 185 pounds he's 5'10 with a ridiculously small reach at 67 inches.

    It's not just the weight it's the dimensions aswell and style of Marciano which wouldn't be successful in the modern era.

    Some of these 'size arguments' are beginning to make 'Fight Math' look like an advanced forecasting technique.

    No if u are referring to Marciano beating Holmes or Norton. I think they would both beat Marciano easily.
