    The Holyfield of those terrible John Ruiz fights -, was he made for prime Marciano to bust him up and stop him? Or does the legendary Real Deal chin keep him from it?

    I think Marciano has a chance against anybody within spitting range of his weight and imho a bad version of Holyfield will get chewed up by a good version of Marciano.

    I think Marciano wins a clear decision against Holyfield.

    Marciano would have knocked Holyfields head into the nosebleeds, Roids or no Roids

    The Rock kayos him.
    Holyfield wouldn't be able to help himself and at some point in the fight would make the mistake of fighting the Rock toe to toe.
    He'd then be introduced to Suzy-Q.

    Holyfield would be the boss inside. Push Rocky back and pepper him with snappy combos.

    The 84-inch Lennox-R couldn’t KO him for 24 rounds but the < 70-inch Suzie-Q would?

    Uhh uhh the guy who stopped an unbeaten GF monster gets beaten by powerhouse Leon Spinks??
    Ooouh eehh the guy who went 15 with Norton gets stopped by powerpuncher LH??

    As I see, you still never get tired to post some of the "smartest" comparisons of BF24. I hope you´re better at the "art of numbers and values" you´re trying to study.
