    The guy was 5'10 185 at his best. He would be a light heavyweight today with day-before weighins.

          Wouldn't even be a cruiserweight today. Doesn't make him any less great though.

              Rocky was incredible.

              He would get crushed today.

              That's a no-brainer

                Him and Lennox Lewis are the only two HW champs to beat every guy they ever faced.

                But I thought this was the weakest HW era ever?


                Marciano weighed less than most LHWs do in the ring today. I think he'd do just fine there or 168. And if Tzoldt fricken Erdei can win a title at CW, I'm pretty sure Marciano could as well.

                  Liston would have knocked him out. Cassius would have cut him up.
