    If Marv decided to hop up to LHW which great champs over the years do you feel he has a chance against?

    I feel like he stands more of a chance against past light heavys due to their lighter weights, so maybe someone like Dillon or Loughran?

    I suspect with his bald head he would retain less heat than SSR with his slick hair cut so I see Marvin winning this:D

    I wonder more what Marvin could have done at super-welter. He weighed in the mid 150's well into '77. Hell, he was 157 for Duran.

    I think his ceiling at Light Heavy would have been low, and that he would have really gotten beaten up to score significant wins.

    I think going back is the wrong idea. Someone like Tommy would be the worst kind of opponent for Marvellous.

    True, but I do still think he'd stand a better chance against lighter LHWs than the weight bullies of the past 40 years
