Poll: Could Marciano Have Beaten Holyfield?

[mickey malone]

I'm talking the Marciano that beat Louis Vs the Holyfield who beat Tyson in the 1st fight.. Be interested to see some views on this.. Would Rocky once again be too small or is Holyfield made to measure?
Both fighters have incredible will & toughness.. Both don't have a quit button.. Both have good chins & violent attack patterns.. It all adds up to one of the greatest shows on Earth... But who takes it?.... Let me know... I'd suggest only Ezzard Charles can be the goat here...

I'll opt for Evander. He had immense punch resistance and heart. I cant see Rocky KOing him, and thus Holy would box his ears off. Rocky was too crude a fighter, too raw.

Holy doesnt have to worry about brain damage. He was never going to get a PhD anyway.

Not 'could' he have beaten Holyfield. The issue that we need to be resolving here is how many seconds it would take. Try Marciano by KO in the opening seconds of the fight. I rest my case here lads.

Holyfield would have beaten marciano

Rocky would stop Holy IMO, Holy was easier to hit then Walcott, and i think Walcott had abit more edge in his Punching power.

Rocky would get to him, when Holy fought Tyson every time he held onto Mike, Mike did nothing, He couldnt do this with Rocky, Rocky would keep working, and sooner or later he would catch Evander. Both are warriors. It would be a war but Holy would Tire. Thats when Rocky would chop him down.

I would pick Marciano to KO the Holyfield that fought Tyson. Give me the Holyfield that fought Bowe and I'll take the Real Deal.

Have you ever predicted Marciano to lose?

Even Rid**** Bowe couldn't stop Evander until Holy was 34 and gassed out, Lewis couldn't stop Evander when he was well, well past his best, Tyson couldn't stop Evander, Qawi couldn't stop an Evander who was young and inexperienced and basically had no place in a 15 round championship fight. Evander had a top notch chin and Marciano is not going to stop him. Evander is a much better boxer than Marciano, and is also much stronger and would batter and muscle him around if he needed to.
Evander by UD, Evander warred and (mostly) won against guys that were 30+lbs heavier than him, or freaks like Tyson who possessed ungodly strength, marciano wont hurt him
