    You have questions, you have doubts. I was the same as you once. Then I learned to put my faith in a higher power. The Brockton Blockbuster!! Keep Punching!

    His reach would have very little to do with his weight. In the computer fight he was over 215 and wore it well as an old man. He trained down not up. In today’s game he would be heavier. People act as if being heavier is some off skill thag tons of fighters haven’t done before. Hell when Foreman came back he purposely stayed heavier. I’d imagine Frazier, Louis, Ali, Marciano, Liston, exc exc would be heavier today when they would fight and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s skill that would do wilder in. As he lacks it especially when compared to great fighters like Marciano.

    Tua has a 70 inch reach and Samoan dna, giving him enormous leg muscles and a bigger chest than Marciano.

    What computer fight? That thing from the 70s against Ali? Pathetic reference.

    I would take marciano as he was against Wilder. Realistically today he would be fighting heavier.

    I would think you’d be the one taking an L since you pulled up an inconsistent contender with a two inch reach advantage on Rocky and a large difference in chest size which was stated previously in this thread. If you think Tua is good support for Rocky effectively gaining weight, I think you’d be better off spending some more time in a classroom.

    Lol Mike Tyson weighed 220 pounds so try again kid. Chis Byrd weighed 200 pounds for most of his career so again nice try. Joe Frazier weighed between 205 and 210 pounds all of his career. David Tua weighed 220 plus pounds pretty much his whole career. You are very bright are you? I said name one heavyweight who was 5'10 and weighed 180 pounds. You named some guys who were 5'10. But why would I expect anything more besides stupidity from Rocky Marciano fans.

    Holyfiled weighed 205 plus pounds most of his career and was also 6'2. Roy Jones Jr fought one fight at heavyweight and beat one guy and that was the horrible John Ruiz. Roy Jones beat Ruiz because of his amazing hand speed. Spinks beat a drugged out Cooney and a old Larry Holmes. What happened when Spinks fought Mike Tyson? That is what would happen to Marciano if he tried to fight a modern sized and skilled heavyweight.

    Marciano walked around at 200 plus he trained down to thag weight knowingly sacrificing some power for endurance (at least according to his relatives I think they said 215 wall around when I spoke to his family ). Tua doesn’t look like the cardio type. If Marciano wanted to he could have came in 200 plus easy. Question would be if he would be as affective? I see no reason why not as plenty of other fighters have done so over the years. His biggest problems would be men like Lennox and Wlad who were excellent at grabbing and leaning on the inside. Lennox was amazing at neutralizing Tua (although Tua wasn’t nearly as good as Rocky was at closing the gap and defense). Wilder does not posses any such skills on the inside and Marciano would eat him up. That’s my opinion I don’t expect you to agree.

    What Marciano walked around at is irrelevant, we are discussing what weight he fought at!
    Tua was one of the participants in the highest amount of punches thrown in a heavyweight fight ever!
    Wilder is **** at short range ,Marciano was **** at long range!
    Marciano adding15 lbs to his frame would have meant he
    1.Was slower.
    2.Would have less stamina.
    He was a smallish guy, look up his T of the T and compare it to Tua's and Tyson's!
    That hole you are digging yourself is getting deeper and deeper!
