Would Vitali Klitschko be too big for Marciano?

The nutrition wasn't bad during Rocky's era. Have you seen some of the athletes of the time; as well as before?...but it is the only style a smaller fighter has for a chance to beat Vitali, if he doesn`t go forward, Marciano will only be out-boxed due to longer reach, right?
One thing for sure, Primo Carnera at 6′ 5½″ can be beaten by Rocky Marciano. And if Vitali were to eat the same nutrition during those times, even at 6′ 7½″ he can be beaten by Rocky Marciano. And no one can beat Rocky at the time.
But that is only my opinion to a hypothetical question.
However, if Rock Marciano were put here at present times, and took the quality of food and vitamins, we don`t even know how Rocky would fight, nor would he be a small fighter. I would predict him to be a greater monster, and still be able to defeat Vitali. Rocky was relentless, a living legend in his time.
Now, we do have many advantages today...no question...but Rocky wasn't starving. Rocky was Italian-American as well. They would buy food before clothing. And Italian food is cheap to make and good for the body.
Unless you are talking about steroids and other supplements...but even then, they had some of them when Rocky was around.
Look before Rocky's era and you just mentioned an example: PRIMO

How much smaller do you think Vitali would be?
230+ like his starting weight?Comment

marciano would get TKO'd early.
im a huge fan of marciano, but i think vitali would knock him down repeatedly for about 3 rounds, but i think rocky would get up everytime, he had the most heart and grit of any fighter, but i think the ref would stop it.Comment
