    How would these old school fighters do today in these divisions?

    Rock Marciano-cruiserweight (he weighted in at 180-185 for heavyweight fights)

    Chavez-140

    Monzon-Middleweight

    Locche-140

    140 would be better for Locche surely?

    Marciano probably a small Crusier? Doubt he makes 175.

    Monzon definitely would be Champion at 160.

    Chavez 140 would definitely be Champion aswell.

      the worst fighter there is locche. LW sucks right now, so he'd be champion if he were motivated.


      the rest are great, great fighters.


      and dan is right. marciano ran a ton for a HW to get down to his fighting weights. he'd be a cruiserweight at the very lowest. i think he'd do fine at HW, to tell you the truth. is chris arreola insurmountably big at a flabby 240 lbs? nope.

                Marciano would never make 175. He trained every day and his walkaround weight was 195 or so. He cut weight in training. They felt (rightly or wrongly) that the power you give up in cutting weight is more than made up for in agility and endurance.

                  they'd all be top dogs(except monzon, have never watched him fight)

                  chavez would own 140 though, that includes beating locche

                    sergio martinez certainly isn't the best argentinian MW of all time.
