This One Is A War!!

I'm gonna change my pick from the one I posted in the other thread.


The fact that Evander's a cruiserweight makes a big difference.

At 190....Evander would have not been as strong as he became....his punch would not be as heavy....his ability to absorb big shots not the same.

I think Holyfield would outbox Marciano in spurts. He'd bust Rock up, without really hurting him.
He'd be lured into one exchange too many. Rocky would rock & drop him in the 9th/10th rd....& then batter him for most of the late rds.....taking over on points.
Marciano W15 CRUISERWEIGHt Holyfield.

You bring up good points Jabs, nice - very nice!

Evander with his speed looks to pepper the Rocks' head first, since he knows Marciano has been prone to cut. Marciano tries to work the body because he knows he has to take away some of Evanders speed. This one is getting good in round two!

Marciano was one hell of a tough fighter, Evander wins on points or gets carried out of the ring. These are the only two ways this could end in my opinion.

You may very well be right, it looks like one of these guys is going to need a stretcher!

Nar, nar...I see Marciano knocking the great man down in the late rounds, like he did to Walcott. Marciano would wear him down slowly but surely and then bam!

Marciano was the Gambler of boxing: knew when to hold'em, knew when to throw'em.

Marciano the Gambler of Boxing! That's GREAT! I love it! This one is definately going to go into the late rounds, but Evander has more speed than Marciano has ever seen before. Can Rocky slip Holyfields' punches and land the big one? Or will his eyes be shut and cut before he can get it in?!
