Marciano vs Evander Holyfield

This would be a war for the ages, if anyone could break Holyfield down it would be Marciano.

 

Remember, Holy beats each of the HW gang here: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/187-holyfield-against-this-heavyweights.618961/

--> Hast to beat Rocky too.

 

Evan Fields was on HGH at heavy. Without it he was a guy who had a tough fight at 190 VS Dwight Muhammed Qawi. I'll take the Rock.

 

Marciano in a monster war. Decision or possible late stoppage.

 

I give the edge to Marciano

 

Very Early round s its Holyfield .While he's fresh he's in and out ,scoring well to the head and body of Rocky .Sharp counters that make Marciano s face swell and his eye shut. In fact ,by the 7 th its looking like Marciano s hardly won a round and isn't far off being stopped. But there s a point whereas Holy s slowing down ,Rocky's actually connecting more .

Now as we enter the 8 th the pattern of the fight s taken a drastic turn in Rock's favour .Holy s face is showing signs of fatigue and his Puncher's are getting sloppy .He's still attempting to take his opposition s head off but it's Rock looking the stronger .As we enter the 10 th round ,Holy is well ahead on the cards ,when a looping right hand puts him on the floor !
He looks badly hurt but makes it up by 8.Marciano goes wild throwing every punch in the book at him but somehow ,Holy field holds on to survive.
In the next round its all Marciano but fails to get a kd .
In the 15 th and final round both men are hitting each other with no thought for defense.
The Judges scores are split
We have a Draw...!!!
Maybe a rematch ?

 

What a war but Marciano def takes it. If qawi could give him fits (basically a smaller not nearly as good as anything version of Marciano except slightly better defensively) Marciano would finish him in the late rounds imo.

 

I think it is as well to remember Holyfield was having his 14 th fight when he faced Qawi,who,4 months before had ko'd Leon Spinks.

Marciano's 14 th opponent? Artie Donato 7-10-0.

 

I like Holyfield better boxer ,as good a chin and very strong 15rds dec to Evander.

 

Has to be !!

 

What was Evanders amateur career like? Not being condencening I don’t know but can only assume it was more then 12 fights. Marciano had a **** poor amateur career so took more pro fights to develop. As I’m sure you know.

 

Holyfield was an Olympic meddalist. Maciano had something like 25 amateur fights, so he had a lot more to learn.

I still take the Rock is no HGH is involved.
