    if You thought what the stand in front of you with no defense Sanders did to Wlad was bad I can only imagine the destruction that would befell that poor China chinned fellow Wladimir.
    Bowe would be the harder fight imo. But Marciano isn’t Holyfield. He hits harder, has better defense, and is a notch above on the stamina.

    If I am overrating his chances against the modern big men, then Golota might be a good call.

    Define a super heavyweight. Are you look for a champion or a highly ranked guy?

    Yes, I pick Marciano to beat Bugner.

    Bowe would give him all kinds of problems, both inside and out. Marciano wasn't quick enough and didn't throw the kinds of combos to do what Vander did... and Vander lost twice to Riddick.

    Where are the short reach medium fast 185lb fellows in the 90s and today to do so? Do we have to wait for another planetary constellation until the reincarnation spawns?

    Qawi was short!And he gave big man fights!
    Where are they?
    Chris Byrd who split Klitchko nose in a half?
    Cunningham who knocked Fury down and almost won!
    Were are they?I don't know but those two are very good but not in the same level of Marciano or Dempsey!
    SHW?Jack Bodell knocking giant O'Halloran,Dempsey knocking Willard...
    There are not many of them but we got them in every generation!
    Size doesn't mean anything!Big yus are here just to make fighter longer and more boring!Bigger guys are here with a reason!One giant killer and they would be history again no matter what PEDs they used!

    Bonavena was listed as 6ft 1 in few magazines!
    He was also in picture with Elvis Presley same height as Elvis who was 6ft1 1/2!
    He also looked taller than Chuvalo 6ft1 and Frazier 5ft10!
    Bonavena with Monzon also looks taller!He was much taller than 5'11!
