Who wins: Evander Holyfield Vs Rocky Marciano

[Larry the boss]

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.

I see people all the time underrate Marciano,sure he may appear like a plodder and his style is not flashy,but he did subtle little things that allowed him to deliver his power,and his toughness can not be taught,the man refused to lose...got his not split right down the middle against Ezzard Charles and went out and stopped him..

Thanks for the vid.

I always believed in Marciano's "will over skill," but someone here once posted a Youtube video documenting Rocky's subtle boxing skills. It made me reevaluate my view of Marciano. Obviously, we're not talking about Mayweather-like skills here, but underrated skills nonetheless. When you combine that with an iron will and bone-crushing power, it's tough to beat.

Someone answer this for me with just a Yes or No. I don't need anything but a yes or no on this

Did Rocky duck out of Boxing at the age of 33 b4 the era of Large Heavyweights came????

Soooo is that a yes or a no?

And I heard that Floyd PAtterson was trying to fight him but I'm not to sure someone would have to confirm that for me

Is he suppose to be a physic? how would he know what fighters were coming years later? and i never heard anything bout him and Patterson who in my opinion he would have a great chance of knocking out

No he's not supposed to be Psychic but I mean I just think he came into boxing and left boxing at the right time

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

From a 42 year old Forman.... And Big Rid**** knocked out Evander... As well as not being able to handle a horribly of of shape James Toney.

Stop embarrassing yourself making Holyfield such a greater boxer. In his prime yes, but his prime was short lived.. Marciano has if not a greater chance to stop Holyfield as Toney/Bowe
