Valuev would prolly KO him cause Marciano would prolly try to get brave.
i would pick a lot of fighters to beat marciano in todays era, but i think strangley that marciano would have a good chance to outwork valuev.
valuev does not like the very samll opponents .

Valuev would win and it would not be a close as some of us might think.

If Donald and huggybaer (Both were robbed in germany) can beat him why not Rocky?

I asume that this is a match up with each man at his best. Valuev has too much physcial advantages over Marciano who by todays standards is a crusierweight. It is not a matter of talent or skill. Useing a jab Valuev can hit Marciano while greatly limiting the times Marciano can hit him. His hight gives him leverage and his mass gives him power both good for ko punches.
Marchiano's best chance is to survive the knockdown(s) or if he dosen't go down survive the beating to land a big shot of his own. If he can work his way inside to do it.

Rocky, for all intents and purposes should be fighting steve cunningham should he be active today.

Rocky "The Atomic Dwarf" Marciano would ko any boxer in history ever. Valuev would last 6 rounds before being ko'd.

Valeuv is very below average when comparing to past champs.
Marciano would beat him.

Marciano UD, unless he brawls...mass matters.
Rocky is outweighed by 130 pounds, I think Valuev takes this one quite easily. He's not that unskilled.

I think some posters are going out on a limb think Rocky KO's Val...I can see a UD but I would lean towards Val winning an SD. At 5'10 Rocky would go through a world of hell.

Valuev is absolute garbage, the guy can't evade a punch to save his life and he's slower than Butterbean stuck in quicksand. I'm not one of those guys that thinks that all those old school guys could beat any current fighter out, there but I have to give this one to the mighty midget Marciano. I just don't think much of Valuev.
I don't think much of him either but I still see Val's size as a problem, as great as Rocky was his greatest win was against a washed up version of Joe Louis. It would be a close one, it wouldnt be an easy task for either man.
This really amazes me. If a fighter moves up from 140 to 147, a whopping 7 pounds, he all over sudden is in deep waters. But for Rocky Marciano even 130 pounds do not matter.

So Tyson loses to Valuev as well?
A prime Tyson at 215-220 lbs is biger than Marciano at 184,1/2-189 lbs.
Tyson also has beter defence. That being said Tyson would face the same difculities that Marciano would face. I find it difcult picking anyone but Lenox Lewis to defently beat Tyson but I could see Valuev beating Tyson.

This is incredible.
Seriously, I know there is a lot of hate for Valuev on here but this is an easy win for him.
Styles make fights and Chagaev has a whole different style than Marciano. Marcianos come forward style is ideal for Valuev, he has problems with boxer type fighters who pick their shots, stick and move, but Marciano is easy prey and he could never hurt Valuev that's for sure.
Marciano by decision. U just can't KO Valuev

Marciano is'nt a simple come forward fighter. He is a come forward, hit you and you fall down fighter. Valuev who I like would lose emphatically. For the person who said Valuev would beat Tyson i honour you on your stupidity.

:-( I can't respond to that. Valuev is trash, you guys are picking him because of size. The guy would get worked by any decent fighter. He lost to Chagaev for God's sake, and you think he beats Tyson or Marciano?
He hasn't fought or beat anyone good and was loseing to Mcline before he tore his knee up, he also got a gift agianst an old Larry Donald as well as huggy bear Ruiz and he was also hurt badly in the first round of his fight with feather fisted washed up 35yr old Monte Barrett. peak Tyson would would destroy him in 5 rounds as for Rocky he would simply wear this freak down before he KTFO of Valuev who is trash like you said. size don't matter unless the fighter are evenly skilled just look what happened when Cannera Fought Joe Louis he had a 5 or 6 inches and 60 to 70 pounds on Louis but got KTFO.

Rocky easily gets by that slow pawing jab and systematically chops down Valuev.

Rocky was a master at cutting off the ring, using angles & relentless pressure to force bigger, faster opponents into his punching range. Brilliant boxers like Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore, Joe Louis, etc. were all eventually manuvered, trapped & battered by "The Tenacious Midget". The plodding Valuev doesn't have the skills to compete on Rocky's level.
