Here is an all out blood and guts war, 12 rounds - go!

One of the great fantasy fights of alltime. The only down side is that Holy would probably end up critically injured. Don't laugh. Holy fought so hard against Quawi that his kidneys darn near shut down. This fight would be so bloody and violent it would turn the average spectator off of watching fights.

Holyfield by UD.

Old holyfild

Rocky by UD.

Rocky by late KO.

Holyfield, after Rocky's nose falls off and the officials stop the contest.

Will go for Marciano on this one. On decission.

Here is an all out blood and guts war, 12 rounds - go!

There are enough similarities between the styles of Marciano and Tyson to make me think that Marciano could not add anything to the Holyfield match up that would drastically alter the outcome of Tyson and Holyfield's fights. However, Tyson's slowing down in the later rounds would be absent with Marciano, who seemed to come on harder and harder in some fights as the rounds progressed. This is a tough choice, but one must remember that Marciano is a lot smaller than Tyson who Holyfield dealt with fine. I pick Holyfield.

Jim Lampley commentating..... And the crowd chanting HOLYFIELD, HOLYFIELD, HOLYFIELD! I haven't really seen much of Marciano, I've watched his k.o. win against Joe Louis and his bout with Walcott. I'll take Holyfield on this one by a comfortable UD or even a k.o in the late rounds. , Holyfield is a far more superior athlete, had a lot more boxing skills, one of the better technicians in the ring, I mean Holyfield can play the in game as well as move around and throw bombs from the outside and he definitley ain't chinny, the guy has a steel jaw that can withstand any Marciano bombs, can anybody say w/o laughing that Marciano hits harder than Lennox, Bowe, Tyson, and Tua(Evander's sparring partner for both his fights w/ Tyson)! Reason I asked is, it seems alot of people that are picking Marciano is b/c of his punching power.

holyfield easily...marciano era of fighting was primitive...holyfield easily beat tyson and marciano dosent hit as hard or is as qucik as that tyson in 96

tholyfield easily...marciano era of fighting was primitive...holyfield easily beat tyson and marciano dosent hit as hard or is as qucik as that tyson in 96

that is crazy, marciano could fight 15 rounds easily, his stamina was 100 times better than tyson, and he had a granite chin, holyfield was never a knockout guy at heavyweight, marciano ud in a 12 round fight, or late stoppage if its 15

holyfield would ko marciano he would be to strong

when holyfield entered the heavyweight ranks it was at 208, marciano could fight at 190-195, that isnt much difference,marciano was never kayoed and he fought guys just as big and bigger than holyfield and was never seriously hurt, he was relentless and would punch for the whole 3 minutes, holyfield punched in bursts and took parts of rounds off, marciano would win a slugfest or late kayo

Holyfield by decision.

holyfield would ko marciano he would be to strong

Marciano was notoriuosly strong, IMO A prime Holyfields main weapon WASNT his strength, its only since he's slowed down and put on extra pounds that his strength become important.

I'd pick Marciano to beat him at any stage of Holyfields career.

I think that Holyfield had too many tools and his heart was as close as can be to Marciano's. Either by UD or late stoppage with Rocky bleeding from numerous cuts.

Marciano 10 round ko

Holy by KO.

If both fighters were in their prime, Holyfield get it on points decision. There's no way anyone on the planet get floor Holyfield in his prime. Also, one thing to mention, Holyfield is much bigger than Rocky, over 20 pounds heavier.

Holyfield stops the Rock in late rounds. Marciano is closer in size to the Bobby Cyzz's of the world, not the Ridick Bowe's, or Lewis'. Marciano was tough but Ithink Holyfield is just as tought mentally with alot more skill.

Holyfield by KO 4-5

People in here are saying stuff about Holyfield having too much heart, Tyson punching harder than Rocky, Rocky being too small. Rocky beat up on guys all the time that were much bigger than he was. Holyfield was never a knockout fighter and could take punches but Rocky threw a punch as hard as he could for the whole 3 minutes and for 15 rounds plus he threw over 100 punches in a round all the time and Holyfield would not be able to take that kind of punishment.
Rock by KO in the 12th round. (assuming this fight is 15 rounds)

Evander Holyfield 1984 - 2005 38-8-2 - Rocky Marciano 1947 - 1955 49-0-0

Rocky :boxing: KO Holyfield

holyfield makes marciano look like a fool, and wins a late stoppage on cuts.

Your "fantasy fight" MO is funny.

Everyone beats Marciano even though no one ever really did.

No one beats Ali, even though five people really did.

I think you are taking the "fantasy" part a little too seriously.

ali didn't lose in his prime, and marciano didn't fight anybody.

ali didn't lose in his primeThat's some circular logic right there. So the last fight he won while still undefeated he was in his "prime", but the first fight he lost, he was past his prime? You do realize that it is possible for a fighter to lose and be in their prime at the same time, right?
Q: Why wasn't he in his prime? A: Because he lost.
Q: Why did he lose? A: Because he wasn't in his prime.

lol
and marciano didn't fight anybody.
Or so you say. It all averages out. Take 50 of the heavyweight contenders from one era and compare them to 50 of the heavyweight contenders from another era, on the average, you will find very little difference. And if everyone was as infallable at deciding who is the better fighter without the benefit of having seen them fight each other yet, we would all be rolling in cash won off bets. There are a lot of variables. George Foreman beat Frazier, Frazier beat Ali, Ali beat Foreman...you get the idea.

The fact of the matter is, through thick and thin, Marciano faced all comers which by default included a lot of variables and no one found the combination to beat him. You can't say the same for anyone else.

holyfield makes marciano look like a fool, and wins a late stoppage on cuts.

by some reason you always pick everyone to beat marciano i fantasy fights allthough he never lost. :rolleyes:


i see a hard bloddy fight where holy takes the half off the fight before marciaon turns the fiht on a tired holy, marciano by 12 sd ore ko between 12-15th round

Holyfied by split decission.
