Is AA starting to become a modern SMW version of Marciano?

[Spray_resistant]

I can see some similarities between Arthur Abraham and Rocky Marciano.....the success in spite of a lack of athleticism attributed to a granite chin, iron will, and crushing power.....seemingly beatable on points yet no one has seemed to be able to outlast him and get it done though both at least up until now don't have the strongest resume......so what do you think? Am I reaching here or is it an apt comparison?

It's a bit of a reach. Marciano never stopped throwing punches while Abraham is very economical with his output.

lack of athletecism? he seems like a pretty strong and athletic looking guy to me.

Rocky marciano was more like a HW Gatti but better. Abraham fights mothing like him at all.

I think of Floyd, Pascal, or Dirrell when I think of athletic, strong does not mean athletic necessarily.

[Unbelievable]

Maybe they look a bit alike. lol. But their styles are a lot different.

Maybe not other than being able to starch guys with one shot but I see some similarities.

He might not be agile is what he meant. He doesn't move around a whole lot. He doesn't seem athletic because of his style. But he is athletic, I mean to hold your hands up for 12 rounds, duck and move out of the way of punches and take a pretty good punch despite having most of your chin be made of metal is pretty athletic.

AA is the ****!

I agree, other than both being short, stocky, good chins and hitting hard, Abraham has better defense for one, which he needs more because of his much lower output.
