Could Marciano reach......

[likeamulekick]

......nikolai valuevs head. Would this fight even be allowed to happen, as I think there is a rule your not allowed to duck your head below the opponents waist. Could Marciano win?

I'd imagine he'd just destroy his ribs so he couldn't breath then go for an uppercut assuming he reaches his jaw.

Watch the UFC fight between Mark Hunt and Stefan Struve and then you know if Marciano would be able to hit Valuev on the chin.

still that guy had 7 inches on rocky, rocky had a 67 inch reach but saying that just watching that fight, it wasn't hard for him to hit him

[GeneralZod]

Dempsey did beat Willard with a 5 inch difference if that means anything.

I actually didn't know Valuev's height.

[Marcov]

I heard sometimes it is harder to fight a short fighter than everybody thinks. Guys like Marciano and Tyson would fight low making fighters reach and bendover. When punches went over them the chins were suddenly closer, Making the reach advantage go away.

See Tyson-Carl Williams.

Yeah his ribs and his arms/shoulders and then uppercuts and hooks.

You know you ARE allowed to hit an opponent in other places than just the chin right? :thinking9:
