Sam Peter vs. Rocky Marciano.

[VG_Addict]

Sam Peter.....Sam Peter, the same guy who lost to former middleweight James Toney?



Marciano would whup him

How's Marciano gonna whup someone who outweighs him by 60 pounds, is stronger, and hits harder than him?

Willard outweighed Dempsey by 58 pounds...how'd that fight end?

Nicolay Valuev outweighed Ruslan Chagaev by 91 pounds and David Haye by 102 pounds....how'd those fights go?


As for hitting harder A) That's subjective and B ) it doesn't matter it's the sport of BOXING not a "Who hits hardest" competition

Come on, Haye and Chag can box and move. Rocky fights one way so would probably lose.

Sam Peter fights one way and his fists ain't exactly the fastest either

Sam does not need speed he just has the size.

I don't defend Marciano much on here, but I will against Sam Peter.
I don't care how much Marciano is outweighed.
Peter doesn't have the "inner stuff" it takes to hang with Marciano.
..... and Lyle already cited cases of much smaller HW's beating the larger man.

I say Rocky bangs on him like a big pinata and gets him out of there in the later rounds.

It's true Samuel Peter is much bigger and stronger than Rocky was, but as we in know in boxing size and strength isn't everything.

I envision the shorter Rocky parrying and ducking the jab and big right hand, and digging the body on the inside.

Perhaps Sam would land something meaningful in the early rounds, maybe even score a knockdown or two, but IMO Rocky batters him and wears him down.

I think Rocky would struggle against a skilled big man, like a Lennox Lewis, but against a big mamaluke like Peter it's hard to imagine him losing. Peter lost to Toney and got a gift FFS

We saw Sam quit on his stool against Vitali. He doesn't have the heart to tango with Rocky!
