    So you never saw the prime Holyfield who threw 100punches round on round?

    Purely as a boxer. Is Holyfield as crafty as Walcott? Or as Technically proficient as Ezzard Charles? I don't see Evander dancing around the ring outboxing Rocky.
    Evander is a skilled fighter, but he does tend to get into slugfests. A slugfest like against Quawi, with Rocky's right hand is disaster waiting to happen!

    Evan Fields takes it. Marciano would beat Evander Holyfield though...

    Holyfield loved to brawl. He would lose in a brawl with Marciano. Especially the holyfield not on steroids.

    Not shitting on Holyfield but the prime you mention was the same time he fought bert cooper, and if he can hit and hurt Holy then id fancy Rocky to do the same only with more success

    Helluva fight tho

    Just watched the 3rd round again. Jesus id forgotten how exciting it was!! Id also forgot how well Holy came back at cooper in the same round, but i still cant help thinking that if that was Marcianos right hand instead of coopers...........

    This post has no credibility. Comparing Tysons chin and will power with the Rocks is just wrong.

    Roided Holy might last 12 but to say he can KO Marciano? I'd say it is a stretch for Holy to win.

    Have the ******s from general moved to Classic?

    Eg
    Marciano is unproven, gets KOed easily, fades in the fight.

    This is bs
