    I wish. The men with the stylish, ultra manly unibrow get mad poon. That means they get an awful lot. I tried to grow a unibrow but the Chinese herbs I bought for that purpose made my nipples sensitive and my anus itch. Also, I got temporary hypogonadism. Chinese herbs are unpredictable.

    At least 1 person under 200lbs would have his number, sometimes a fighter is just going to plain and simply have your number. Walcott and Charles weren't far off beating him, perhaps a younger version of either does, when there is a list that includes the following you are going to pick up losses: ALi, Louis, Holyfield, Dempsey, Jones Jr, Tunney, Prime Charles, Prime Walcott, Patterson, Jack Johnson, Langford, Haye, Spinks

    WTF is it about old timers running with heavy clothes on

    RJJ at his athletic best, I can actually see avoiding and surviving to take a decision, possibly, maybe, kinda, sorta. Haye...no. Chin issues + Stamina concerns + leaky defense = Dead Haye. Fragomeni gave him a tough fight under 200. ...Cannot see that in any way shape or form.

    I'd pick Marciano over Haye, Haye isn't too good at mid range with his open defense. But Haye's speed/power could see him KD Marciano early and when that happens who knows what happens next. A fast starting KO artist may have been a problem for Marciano, who knows

    Roy Jones.......would make him look like a complete ******.

    David Haye.....To Big, To Fast, To Much Power........he would give him a similair beat down he gave John Ruiz.

    Evander Holyfield....Stops him by TKO.

    Anyone think Nigel Benn? Might be interesting until the Rock starts landing, but Benn was a master of the bull rush.

    Langford and Fitz can't even be mentioned, we don't know how they fought, and how they even looked on film in a FULL FIGHT.

    Under 200, I think Dempsey, Michael Spinks, holyfield, and perhaps a young cassius clay.

    Above 200, I would favor Foreman, Tyson, Liston, Ali, and Holmes against him..

    Under 200 pounds, 15 rounds, six-ounce gloves, Rocky'd be my pick.

    If you want to consider Joe Louis a sub 200lb heavyweight, he would be my only pick to beat Marciano.

    I don't mind picking Louis, but I also think Roy Jones would have a good shot too. Speed kills, and Jones was speed plus..and Holyfield and Dempsey, who knows..those would be hell of a good fights.
