rocky marciano

[tennesseeboy]

how do yall think rocky marciano would fare against todays heavyweights? or would he be considered a cruiserweight as dempsey would be in this day and age? just curious on peoples thoughts?

[Silencers]

He'd be a cruiserweight but I'd give him a very good chance against the smaller heavyweights.

no chance. I think all top 50 ranked heavys today, take marciano. I think marciano was a great heavy for his day(although he is a little overrated) but he would not fair well with todays great tactical fighters. he was about 5'10 185, no chance.

I don't think he would even fare well against alot of the cruisers although I would give him a small chance of being a top 10 cruiser. david haye would masacre marciano no doubt.

That's not true. Patterson didn't want anything to do with Marciano. I heard him say so himself.

really? I heard the complete opposite, patterson saying marciano wouldn't fight him.
