The main reason I see him doing badly against Vitali is Vitali's power and the size advantage really is a lot even for a guy like rocky. He's also the type of fighter that just plods forward and comes straight at you (and I don't mean that in a bad way it worked for him) but I think thats the sort of style that imo would play into Vitali's hands. To beat vitali unless your a beast like foreman or can stand eye to eyewith him like Lewis you really need great movement. Marciano doesn't have that he's a pressure fighter who wears guys down and Vitali would take a hell of a lot of wearing down.
(I think rocky might do well against wlad though - wlad doesn't like it up him)
On the other hand a good small guy to fight Vitali would be Holyfield fighting like he did in Bowe 2 I think he'd beat either brother. I guess its just how I see them mixing and matching ... check out that exhibiution fight between rocky and ali (just to see the size difference) and then imagine rocky with his come forward style fighting vitali ... it just seems like a big ask to me.
