Who wins: Evander Holyfield Vs Rocky Marciano

[bojangles1987]

I think Holyfield would dominate the rounds, but not the fight. Doesn't seem to make sense, but while he would be banking rounds he would be taking punishment in the process. I think he guts out the decision.

Really tough call. It would be a fight for the ages. I can't make a prediction. I'll just say that TS is not giving "The Rock" due credit. Maybe Marciano wasn't fighting the greatest competition of all the heavyweight greats, but he probably wasn't juicing either.

[Larry the boss]

Marciano would be staring at a man who is just as tough as him with better skills....

[Larry the boss]

If that was the reason I would of written Rocky "The Overrated one" Marciano as an option. But I didn't

I do think he's incredibly overrated and loses to many boxers but this was just to spark discussion

Rocky was far from overrated,if anything he gets underrated..

So Holyfield can take bombs from Big Rid**** Bowe and Foreman but not Marciano

Stop ur embarrassing yourself. I need to change my AVI so no one confuses me with u lol

Marciano was a sharper more compact puncher then both..huge difference man..ive seen this guy rock a 300 pound heavybag

Well that depends on who u ask

The man was undersized for a heavyweight,slow,not athletic..but as tough and as strong as they come..he over came his lack of skill with will...but don't get it twisted while he wasn't athletic or greatly skilled he was a great thinker and moved fighters into positions where he could land his power

Yeah, Marciano was a P4P puncher. And it's more than just about raw power; it's about precision, timing and combinations. I agree that prime Holyfield was just about the toughest guy to knockout, but that doesn't mean he couldn't be worn down and decisioned by a guy like Rocky. By the same token, Marciano had an ATG chin as well; but Evander can't be said to have ATG power.

Holyfield points I actually think its a horrible match up for Marciano Holyfield had great movement when he used it fast hands good double jab and left hook combo solid chin and would match anyone for grit and heart!,,,,

Holyfield too strong for him. Marciano was a great fighter but he was 5'10" and weighed 188 lbs.
