Rocky Marciano versus Nikolai valuev

[Master]

The contest today would not be allowed as Rocky would be a cruiserweight.

If it was in the era of Rocky, the mob would threaten Valuev and he would "fall" in the 10th round.

It's true that I don't think that nickel I could keep Marciano from rushing underneath and pounding his ribs but at the same time if Nikolai landed in overhand shopping right to the back of Marciano's head I don't think Marciano could take too many of those

Marciano was as good as is era , he isnt superman.

David Haye is an overblown crusierweight but had the height..he looked tiny against Valuev.

We will never know how many fights Marciano legitimately won without the Mob behind him...loyal fans will continue to ignore this and put him above Joe Louis, TBE etc

Great fighter but not Special.

totally daft thread, how about Gene Tunney vs Frank Bruno?

[brocktonblockbust]

First of all the thread is not daft. Second of all I take issue with saying that Rocky Marciano's fights was set up by the mob. The only close decisions he ever had with his first fight against Roland lastarza and his first fight against Ezzard Charles. When he knocked people called onto the canvas for a few minutes how did the Mob set that up? What a load of nonsense

Tunney outboxes Bruno with ease.

Prince Naz vs Deontay Wilder?

Would Naz make Wilder tired down the stretch with all the missing shots and put him to sleep in the 9th.
