This is a real life re-enaction of the Rocky IV fight. America's small compact but tough Italian Stallion vs the mammoth powerful fighter from the former Soviet Union. Wlad's shaky whiskers is the only reason why this fight is even intriguing as The Rock could punch. Rocky has better stamina in addition to a better chin. Every other conceivable advantage, however, belongs to "The Russian" (ok, ok, Ukrainian...but I want to make it interesting). This aint no movie and so the smaller man gets battered as he should. "It's a matter of size and evolution. isn't it gentlemen?....This other man has not the size or the endurance or the genetics to win. It's physically impossible for this little man to win. Klitschko is a look at the future"
I am sorry guys, but I just have to drive my agenda and pick Wlad by early KO or stoppage on cuts. Marciano was easy to hit and Wlad's jab would land with force which Rocky never felt and long before Rocky was in position to punch himself. Sure, if Rocky could get close he could do damage but usually he wasn't a one-punch KO artist and he would take far too much punishment before he got inside.
Klitshcko would have to be expected to win this That doesnt make him better or greater, just RIDICULOUSLY BIGGER
this here is a first round knockout for Rocky no coming from behind.. avegning apollo's death.. FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT! too fast.. too intense and Wlad would crumble
If you do the maths, the size disparity here is like matching Henry Armstrong against Dariusz Michalczewski. I just found that an interesting wee thought comparison.... Wlad KO 9.
Marciano certainly had the style and temperament to break down Klitschko. He doesn't however have the size necessary to execute it. Wlad might not even need to use his right hand.
Rocky only succeeded because he hit hard, had a good chin, great stamina and an effective style. He wasn't a good fighter:stir:
