    Marciano at CW and Holyfield at HW. Would have been a barnburner.

    Holyfield quits in corner after first round due to paper cut from the tape on Marcianos gloves

    "I'm cut...."

    a little shocked at how many people chose marciano over evander. evander has a little to much of everything for marciano. more speed, more skill, better footwork.

    idk ...Marciano is a little overrated to me,But the guy can PUNCH and can def take a punch, i leans towards a late stoppage for Marciano,Marciano wins with brute strength and heart in this one

    Fight of the Century II

    No doubt, the two best conditioned fighters.
    And quite possibly the greatest hearts.
    Rocky was a little raw in the ring, and not the smoothest fighter.
    But, Evander was head-strong, and didn't always take the easier route.

    This would have to be 15-rounds.

    I can't pick a winner.

    The 199 lb. and under tournament. Using the Commando Supremo computer.

    Rocky Marciano (5-1-1)
    Jack Dempsey (5-2-0)
    Evander Holyfield (5-2-0)
    Ezzard Charles (3-3-1)
    Floyd Patterson (2-5-0)
    Jerry Quarry (2-5-0)
    Gene Tunney (3-3-1)
    Max Schmeling (1-5-1)

    In a round-robin series, Max Schmeling is upsetting somebody by Knock-out.

    Marciano. I thought Holyfield lost to Dwight Muhammad Quawi!
