[mickey malone]

Im a dilusional Moron Because i do not agree with you???
You obviously have afew issue's , Forums are for discussion, and when you go ahead and insult a person for no reason you either 1 ,have a few loose screws ,2 Cant handle that Your wrong or 3 you have limited Knowledge. and for you to suggest Holy would Trade with Rocky then clinch really tells me its choice No3, Because Trade and clinch is the worst thing you can do to beat Rocky.


When i first saw you on this Forum i respected you and your opinions, But this useless attack on me because I dont agree with you has changed my view on you. Anyway i said i wouldnt post on this thread no more so ill just leave it as that.

I strongly fancy Marciano for this one as much respect as I have for Holyfield.
Both prodigous trainers as has been mentioned I do not think any fighter trained as hard as Marciano. Just can't see that Holyfield could put Marciano away early and with the fight going to the later rounds I can't see beyond Marciano. Should Holyfield try some of his more "creative" moves he would be doing them against a fighter who would thrive and return in spades. Rocky somewhere in and around rounds 8 to 10 would be my call.
Nice fight though.

I'm gonna have to say Marciano. Holyfield's one of my favorites, but I don't think he could take Marciano. Neither of them are quitters so I see it going into the late rounds with Marciano taking it by KO.

You are a delusional moron, this isnt a past prime Walcott or Charles Rocky would have to deal with here, it's Holyfield, a man who is superior to him in almost every department. If Holyfield can clinch and muscle around Tyosn, he can do it to Rocky.

Learn about a fighter besides Rocky

Okay, I'm going to step in here because I like both of you and you both are routinely good posters. Let's not be like NSB: We're all adults here and it's not like we're dealing with NSB trolls slipping in and mucking up our threads. I'm not deducting any points just cautioning to keep 'em up.

BTW, I favor Holyfield SLIGHTLY by decision figuring both have high work rates, both can take big shots, and both are in great condition.....the difference being Holyfield is the more accurate puncher which to me makes him a SLIGHT favorite in a fight that could go either way.

Ah look,Old malone and his silly little dream match ups.Now in most dream matches you take two fighters of their prime but now old malone oh no

let's take a beaten up past his prime holyfield who beat a unmotivated past his prime tyson and match him up against a prime Rocky Marciano who took out a washed up joe louis

well considering Marciano is in todays standards thought of a modern day cruiserweight(light-heavyeight cutting weight) how about Marciano vs Evander holyfield of cruiserweight fame or does such a matchup worry you malone? are those bully boy posters still lurking around here? keep those cheeks closed now fella

Well thats a suprise

Walcott was a defensive counterpuncher, why would you compare him to Holyfield. Holyfield counterpunched and boxed sometimes but often prefered to trade.

Rocky is NOT stronger than Evander. Evander was as strong as a bull, he outmuscled Tyson FFS. Rocky hasnt fought a guy like Evander, Evander is too strong and too good a boxer. Evander has taken it to much bigger and stronger guys than that. Charles and the Joes were great fighters but past it when Rocky fought them.

Evander tired when he fought Foreman because he had to work non stop for 12 rounds against a 250lb guy that can smoke your ass with an arm punch! What tired Evander was the constant moving and changing direction vs george, against a guy like Rocky who wades in, Holy can trade and clinch all night long. Rocky was strong and game, but Evander is too strong and too good.

Believe me, fighting on the back foot against a big guy who is pressuring you non stop is way, WAY harder than ****ing with someone you think you can overpower.
