It's possible for Marciano to be the 'greater' fighter - as in his time he was a beast - while at the same time losing to many modern HWs that never held a belt.

Nostalgia blinds many
I agree. I don't even think prime mike could hold a candle to these HWs.
Rocky relied on guys with no movement and he cut easy. With no steady jab and around 5" 10 it's hard seeing Marciano winning against a power puncher with speed and 6'7.

Being a lot shorter would actually help Marciano get inside. I don't think Wilder could deal with the pressure Marciano would put on him. Marciano would bring a war Wilder couldn't handle. He'd chop him down.

Rocky didn't work inside a jab , beating Wilder needs a good reach or speed , I can't see Marciano pulling this off . Wilder won't just stand there and let Rocky tee off on him if anything he makes up a lot with ability to move quickly ,we know how skills lack but I see Wilder landing sooner then Rocky.
Marciano was an all time great. Wilder isn't even an all time good. Rocky threw 100 hard punches a round. Wilder barely averages 30 punches a round. Rocky knocks the sloppy wide open Wilder out early in my opinion.
