Cruiserweight: Evander Holyfield vs. Rocky Marciano

[DannyNL]

Evander all the way. Too big and strong for Marciano. Rocky never fought anywhere near the athlete that Evander was.

If Rocky was in Evander's time, he'd have been fighting at 175 or even 168. He wasn't big enough to be a cruiserweight.

50-0 and still

As a Marciano fan, and Holyfield fan... This is a very close fight to determine the one who would come out on top. Holyfield obviously the more fighter with the more illustrious amateur career, more speed and size. Marciano on the other hand would have the Power, chin and Stamina advantages. Although a great boxer, Holyfield I believe would get KO'ed later in the fight. A cruiserweight Holyfield wouldn't fight Marciano like he fought Tyson... He would try to fight Marciano which would be the worst possible thing to do... Holyfield I believe would get caught and not want to fight but Maricano could go 15 with the same pace from the first round with his power never leaving.

Qawi was 5'6 and Holyfield went 15 to win a SD. Qawi was no were near the power puncher or athletic as Marciano.

Holyfield too quick, too skilled, just too good in every regard.

Marciano not good enough.
