Rocky Marciano vs Wladimir Klitschko

[Gettin Jiggy]

This is a very interesting match up. Marciano would be giving away 7 inches in height and around 60 pounds in weight. would wlad just be to big for marciano, who would be a cruiserweight in boxing today. marcainio never fought a heavyweight as big as wlad either

or could the rock ko wlad. i think i may edge toward wlad, due to the huge size difference, and the wlad today dosent really get hit much either.

The Rock had the power to KO Wlad. I just dont think he'd manage to land all night.

Rocky would be like no one Klits has ever fought. I go with Rocky

Quite right Bad boy, the Klits would have never fought a 5ft 11 guy weighing 185 lbs. No commission would allow it, comedic viewing. It would look like Ricky Hatton facing Bernard Hopkins!

Rocky would have to jump nearly a foot off the ground to even come close to having one of his punches hit Wlad's chin. Basic physics, I forget how short Marciano's reach was (I think 68 inches from memory) that would have to get past an 82 odd inch jab and then find a chin 8 inches higher than Rocky's own.............higher still because Rocky fought from out of a crouch).

Obviously Marciano has the power to stop Wladimir, but I just think he gets nailed from the outside for several rounds before having to call it quits.

so let me get this straight people think rocky loses to wlad yet i remember another post somewhere people thought james toney would beat wlad surely rocky would to then.

[D-MiZe]

I don't think Rocky's going to land many shots with his 67" reach.

marcaino would NEVER quit, that just aint happening FACT

I cannot imagine Marciano having a chance in this fight, yes he had amazing ATG power but Wlad is ginormous and can box. Marciano would never hit him.

........Height and Reach. Both important factors in a fight, But i dont like counting out a shorter man, History has proven to us so many times that Smaller Men can beat a bigger man.



Do i think Rocky would beat Klitschko? Yes. Rocky would be hard to hit (More So if you are taller) Because he crouches so low down he is damn hard to hit from up high, Everyone is talking about reach....Well what if Rocky got in tight and landed bombs to the body? a few Suzie Qs to the Body of Klitschko would do alot of damage, No one is talking Body here, its all "He needs to jump up" thats a laugh. People like David Tua should just Retire then.... Lets make this a 15 round fight. Let Rocky take him to the deep end and drown him, Klitschko has lost all his fights by KO and if he fought Rocco it would be his 4th.
