      especially when you have zero defence......

      if rocky knew how to defend id give him a chance here, even with the size diff.


      but nah he was a brawler, and a brawler will usually lose when fighting a bigger and stronger guy

        Rocky supposedly had a great chin but I dont think he ever tasted anything close to WLads right hand, but I dont know that for sure. Even if he can Wlad's punch, he gets busted up so badly Rockys corner throws in the towel..

            in his era heavyweights were about 6 ft. 200 lbs.

            not fair for rocky. he'd be a light heavyweight in this era.

            wlad will jab him to death and even if rocky does get inside , he'll tire from clinching the adonis giant.

              Rocky Marciano would be known as one of the greatest light heavyweights of all time had he cut 5-10 lbs, which would've been hard since he trained very hard to get down to 185 but I'm sure it would be possible with today's weigh-in's and weight draining.

                  A much more interesting fight would be Marciano vs Hopkins at light HW.

                    Against two of the greatest light heavyweights, Archie Moore and Ezzard Charles + 'Kid' Matthews who was very solid at that weight.

                    No one would question his resume if he had fought at 175.

                    He never fought a talented heavyweight with size so it's impossible to really say for sure how he would've done in match-ups such as this.
