So I can't tell here. Are most of you guys actually picking Marciano here? I think I'd go with him to avoid Wilder's dangerous right hand and even if he gets caught, would get up off the canvas, continue fighting to either win a decision or a late stoppage.
Wilder versus Marciano who wins?

- - Getting back to "He weren't so big, he was just tall, that's all." famous lyrics from a C&W song in the 60s, here is Carmine Vingo on his wedding day, post Rocky beatdown into infirmity where he has ditched his cane for the wedding pic.
Previously list as 6-4 by boxrec, he been downgraded to 6-0, but clearly taller than that looking as his tallish bride for her day. I mention such because it back when we had Carmine as the biggest fighter Rocky beat because of his awkward height, and Vingo was a KO monster to boot.
Look at the size of those hands, a big man's hands.
As a side note, Carmine seems to have recovered from what appeared to be permanent infirmity to live a long, healthy, normal life, passing age 85 long forgotten by boxing...

This match up has some very intriguing elements... it would be nice to get some response along the lines of such elements: For one thing, Wilder weighed in for the hellanius fight at 214 pounds. The size queens have been told and it is confirmed that the average size for a punching heavyweight remains fairly constant. Wilder is at his best at his lightest... That is a fact because Wilder needs his foot speed and the extra weight does not help his punch.
Marciano never came into the ring with an advantage in reach... Lol. So Wilder's reach becomes less of an advantage. Also let us consider how Marciano stated (when narrating his fight) that maintaining a crouch at all times was important... We can deduce that Marciano would not be an easy target. Finally, while it seems absurd to put Marciano against gigantic heavyweights (seems so to some), there is no really absurd weight advantage for Wilder in this bout. it is exxagerated but, there is some truth to the fact that Marciano at least occasionally fought as the lighter guy.
Styles make fights. Wilder gets away using a relatively modern style of fighting, one also used by David Haye and Martinez: he stays away, far away, then ambushes his opponent. He gets away with this because there are no real pressure fighting heavyweights these days, with perhaps the exception of Chisora... but none as great as Marciano. Fighters today also make so many mistakes... helenius lunged and was wide open for the counter...
Marciano would not allow Wilder to fight in the ambush style in which Wilder likes to fight... he would pressure Wilder consistently. Marciano would be in a crouch and not be in a position to be hit like with no guard up, like so many of these fighters today.
If Wilder fights say Ruiz jr and gets Ko'd I am confident in my pick of Rocky. As of right now , I side with Rocky via KO who definitely hits harder the those who knocked Wilder out and buzzed him.Last edited by Dr. Z; 10-25-2022, 10:25 AM.Comment

You're never able to get into a fight ever or make a mistake once in your life when you're Black. That's just how it is in this world, unfortunatelyComment

Dude, the minute you have any altercation with anybody (especially non-Black) & you're Black, you're automatically a thug. Those are the rules.

That Olympic status was only recently broken as the US finally placed some Olympic medal winners with the experienced Arum now bailing out his thug(s) again. $$$ goes a long way in the thug world that thugs operate in. We know what All About Billions does wif his!Comment

Putting fantasist moron Charlie Z in his place for ridiculing his daughter who apparently has some special needs issues was a great job,imo.
I give him credit for one thing, he has plenty of guts.
He and AJ would be an interesting match up.
I'm not American but I think this I'm Black and therefore I'm oppressed is wearing rather thin now.
Was it Denzil Washington who called it," an excuse to fail?"
You've had a Black President, a Black Vice President and several Blacks in top government positions,as now we have in the UK.
As for boxing we've had Don King and Butch Lewis prominent in the game.
I believe there are currently 21 Black Police Chiefs in the US.
57 Black representatives in Congress,and several Black Senators.
There has been a Black National Security Advisor ,Chairman of the Chief Of Staff ,and Commander of the US Army Forces.
The richest entertainer is Ophra Winfrey the richest Sports woman Serena Willliams,the richest boxer Floyd Mayweather Jnr.All Black.
As far as I can see that, "ceiling," was smashed years ago.
No offence meant to you,that's just how I see it.Last edited by Ivich; 12-21-2022, 06:17 AM.Comment
