Rocky Marciano VS Wladimir Klitschko.

Marciano was good at what he did. But as another poster mentioned...that slow, pawing jab while stalking to get inside tactic wouldn't cut it against Wlad. There's too much difference in reach and Rocky didn't move his feet quick enough to effectively close that distance.
I lean towards the old fighters usually being better than the modern ones but you have to examine each matchup on a case by case basis. In this case I have to pick Klitschko. Marciano would keep coming, sprinkling in his awkward lunges as he got more and more desperate. But he'd be torn to bits and eventually stopped in my opinion.Comment

I very much doubt Rocky could hit harder than Wlad and his chin was never tested against a class Super Heavy .
Wlad beats Rocky up which would be no detriment towards Rocky its just the laws of physics and their respective plusses and negatives.
I'd give Dempsey a chance against Wlad because of his quickness , longer reach compared to Rocky, and his tougher skin.
But ,unless Wlad has a melt down this can only end ugly for MarcianoComment

I've thought about this one. Can't see Rocky winning unless he gets a come from behind, kind of shot.
Klitschko s extra height, weight and reach really proves to much for Marciano, he gets battered over the course of the fight and stopped in 9.Comment

Marciano on the floor several times like Povetkin was and some of them would be genuine kd's.

But now I'm thinking Rocky could catch that chin and get a stoppage at some point. I mean, if a journeyman like Ross Purrity can do it, then Rocky could probably pull it off.Comment
