    Marciano was light years better than Haye who couldn`t cut the distance and didn`t anywhere near the amount of shots Marciano used to, if Marciano got inside on Haye he would have tore him apart, different class, bad comparison, Haye only had great athleticism and nothing more.

    Tyson`s arms were far longer than Marciano`s, Duran`s reach was only 2 inches shorter than Rock`s!

    No I don't think he would've. He might have won but it would be far from destruction. Marciano definitely hits the floor, multiple times, Against Sanders

    Haye was quicker than Rocky and could cut the distance very well. Problem: Heavy hands were flying his way fighting Wlad!

    This ia total guess! Rocky didn´t fight 6'4" sharpshooting speedsters!

    What was rocky 5’10 188 with a short reach

    Wlad was 6’6 245 with 0 bod fat and made 18 title defenses against bigger men than rocky ever fought.

    It’s a cap gun vs a bazooka

    I like Rocky I even give him a chance to beat Liston but at some point the measurables are too hard to ignore. He would not be able to compete with elite hard hitting super heavies

    Marciano was far better on the inside than Sanders.

    Rocky fought the super smart Walcott, Haye threw his punches from too far out v Wlad.
