    Hell no, he would have caved his ribs in and stopped him.

    That is the difference between the great heavyweights and the Klitschkos. The brothers have no killer instinct at all.

    Then how come he has a lower ko%? lol.Wasnt a true HW.

    If Wlad was alive back then he would emberass those drunks bums even worse than he is doing in his era.

    Even Arreola beats those drunk bums who fought in fixed fights

    You act like fighters in histories had these amazing fights, how many did you watch? You must think Ali also had amazing fights.

      Klitschko does not body punch because he is tall. Thread closed..

        Well Marciano and Haye are similar sizes and I doubt Haye would run from Marciano so it would be easier on Marciano to get the KO.

          He doesnt do much of anything except Jab and throw the right hand. He doesnt body punch because he doesnt know how how and his chin is such that if he attempted he would most likely risk getting bombed.

          Hes a solid fighter.

            He doesn't body punch because he has a limited skill set.

              rocky marciano weighed like 190 pounds on fight night and in optimal shape was probably closer to the size of a modern middleweight than heavyweight

              you must be new to boxing

              if you want to watch guys similar to rocky, ali, dempsey, tyson, etc - hello, watch lightheavyweight and cruiserweight, that's why those divisions exist
              , just lose your obsession with the word "heavyweight" - those guys are cruisers and below by modern standards. Humans have grown.

              People watch heavyweight and complain that the fighters move slow and don't throw enough punches, I don't get it. It's like watching ww2 battleship combat and asking why they aren't hydroplaning and carving waves. Someone has to painfully step in and inform you that they aren't surfboards.

                  Are you aware of the size of Jess Willard? And are you aware of what Jack Dempsey did to him regardless of that size?

                    Well, for one, if Marciano lived now. He would be a MW. Sooooo, yeah.
