    the weight advantage doesnt matter cause the heavy weight division is unlimited..the klit bros always have huge height and weight advantages.joe louis fought and almostlost to the lightheavy weight champ..lennox had height and weight advantages..its always been like that thru out history

      It would be his only chance, sure he had the bone crushing power to do it but if it didn't happen and he wouldn't be able to find the mark, he would lose a lopsided decision to Dawson.

      See discussions like these are more appropriate, FFs about him against modern LHWs & SMWs as opposed to HWs.

        One thing you can't call him was a bum or tomato can fighting for the payday. Many will still argue had he fought Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe, and Joe Louis in their primes, the outcome may have been different.

What would he have been able to do against Lennox, Vitali or Wlad? Nothing, he would have been destroyed. How would he do in the super 6? He would have walked through them all undefeated.
          yeah except that was the norm for a lot of heavies at the time.

          besides some of rocky's best wins were against light heavyweights.

                  so what?

                  so did joe calzaghe and bernard hopkins. those 2 ****s shouldn't be atg.


                  rocky is a combination of both dudes.

                  his biggest wins came from naturally smaller guys coming up to fight him and/or 40 yr. old past it names.

                    quit repeating the same **** over and over again you idiot.

                    lack of competition doesn't add to one's resume.

                    roy jones had no one to fight at 175 , you see how much it hurt his legacy in the end.

                      if rocky was black , he wouldn't be rated as highly.

                      just my opinion.
