    I'm not the guy who will tell you Marciano beats Foreman, Bowe, Lewis or many of the modern behemoths. Head-to-Head he just doesn't match up.

    BUT... taken in a pound for pound context, there is no fighter 200lbs or under who had the power, stamina, and fortitude of Marciano. I find the Marciano love-fest a little nauseous. However, he could beat any cruiser who ever bestrode this planet.

    I would also argue Archie Moore deserves inclusion on the list, while Jack Johnson and especially James Toney deserve exclusion.

    You've got to give him credit for his profound insights into the art of debate, especially his talent for point-by-point refutation of YOUR points. I would have taken your side but when I read that devastating counterpoint:

    I was so impressed with the capitalization, the punctuation and the spelling, not to mention the incisive logic, that I've changed my mind and I now award this side-debate to tays by KO!

    thats very short sighted max was a great fighter
    counter supreme onre of the few champions to always stay in shapein every fight.

    his right hand would break bones cut faces rip retinas.

    his chine was rock rock solid you had to be a big puncher to hurt him he went toe to toe against max baer and totally outboxed louis in what is considered the greatest heavywieght champion of all time even ali is just next to him in achievment

    stopped joe louis
    should of got the decision against jack sharkey
    totally outboxed high ranking Paolino Uzcudun
    the only man to stop oung stribling a very very very good defencive boxer
    beat micky walker a very underated weight changing pound 4 pounder

    as much as his championshopt history to say he was a great fighter in contender ranking he should of kept his championship his loss to max baer was a very equal fight. and it was only when baer threw everything except the kitchen sink till he struck gold and the small cruiserwieght frame was no strength advantage to the 6'6 super heavywieght. as baer just kept throwing left hands then backhanding on the way back.

    Almost all of the heavyweight champions could make 200 if they fought today. With the day before weigh-in, only Carnera, Willard, and some of the biggest heavyweights couldn't make 200 and be back at their fighting weight by fight time. Liston, Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Frazier, etc. could all make 200.

    thing is 200 pounds is alot of wieght for a fit man if your fit enough or want to make cruiser i think you could do it.becuase most men dont have a wieght range heavy is easy on the diest and less running thats what toney thought i guess.

    i think this is why cruiser is going to take of it's only now that fighters are making wieght being incredibly ft on the night and train to be athletes not at heavy anyone can have a crack at heavy
