Could any Light-Heavy/Crusier-weight in History beat Rocky Marciano?

[Abe Attell]

I always thought of Marciano, if you judge by today's standards, as a Light-Heavyweight/Crusierweight...I say this because he was 185, the same as LH of today that lose 10 pounds for weigh-ins, then show up at fight
time at 185+ pounds...So, judging by that, is there any LH in history that could beat him?




Please be serious, no bull****.

Holyfield was a monster at cruiserweight. He would rough Marciano's face up pretty bad.

dont forget james toney as well

rocky was undefeated, but he wasnt unbeatable. he was one tough sumbitch, but he cut easily, was slow with his feet and hands, had very little defense to speak of, and was basically there to keep throwing punches, break you down, and knock you out.

speed and fast hands would shred rocky's face and force a doctor stoppage.

P.S. rocky marciano is my favorite boxer of all time, but i know he wasnt unbeatable.

id pick cruiser holyfield over marciano

Only a well trained-in-shape-LHW Roy Jones Jr. would beat him IMO.

rocky marciano is one of the biggest myths in history, the only way to get in a fight with the rock was to either be a bum or be way past your prime. hes fought 4 champions all of them past the age of 35. he never fought a quality opponent that wasnt past their prime
