    Answer the question. I noticed u keep avoiding it. Would Tua weigh what he weighed w Marciano’s training regimen? Evander Weighed 177 in his debut finished at 226. U people don’t know a damn thing about training regimens weight supplements etc either that or ur just dishonest. Now answer the question would Tua weigh the same w Marciano’s training regimen?

    There’s a ton of ******s posting here that r so caught up in their hatred of Marciano that they simply can’t fathom that he trained down from low 200s w out an argument breaking out. This ain’t rocket science. That if he fought hw today he wouldn’t weigh 188. Of course he would weigh more u dopes. Completely different work out regimens today. That doesn’t mean he would be as successful. Maybe he weight drains down? The point is no one knows. He was a guy naturally over 200. This idea that he couldn’t get there w out some miracle of God is idiotic and immature. Complete lack of knowledge about boxing and the human body. Grow up

    No, No ,and No! He is naturally a much bigger man!

    Have you ever trained to box? Because you talk like you don't know the first thing about the game.

    Which posters are saying he didn't train down to his optimum weight of between 185- 188lbs?

    Ever seen photos of Marciano in the Army.Does he look over 200lbs to you?

    Everyone who disagrees with you is stupid a dope, dishonest,a hater, and ignorant about boxing.
    I've been encountering that kind of mind set reaction by Marciano fan boys on boxing forums for the last 20 years!
    I asked you what specific changes would be made to his training regime today ,you haven't replied.If you box what do you think you do differently to what the did in the mid 50's? You're full of it,and I don't mean knowledge and experience

    So come on Emanuel Steward tell us all about it? Educate us idiotic ,immature, dopes?

    Holyfield, , Ellis, Jones Jnr,Haye,Usyk ,Byrd, all gained functional mass.

    Any of them 5 ft 10" with the wing span of a welterweight?

    What’s no no no? He wouldn’t weigh the same? So he would be less? I didn’t ask u if he was much bigger which he wasn’t I asked u if he would weigh the same. This convo is going nowhere

    Marciano's training regimen wasn't anything special. I have posted two firsthand accounts on this board, from two different training camps, published in contemporary newspapers, and frankly, I feel I could pull off his regimen and hold down a job at the same time.

    Tua would always be a big dude. No matter how many times you people want to repeat it, he was a much bigger dude than Marciano. He always would be.

    Tus would never weigh as light as Marciano ,For the Lewis fight Tua's chest was49 inches thats 8 inches bigger than Rocky's ,huge forearms15 in, biceps19 1'2.in,thighs 30 in and neck19 1/2in Marciano could have probably trained down to light heavy , a mature Tua could never get under 200lbs and function effectively as a fighter.

    U really don’t know Jack about the human body or sport. He was prob in the worst shape of his career for the Lewis fight. All due respect I can’t have a conversation w u about Marciano. This answer just proves ur not honest when it comes to the man. Ur so obsessed w Marciano u couldn’t answer a simple question about Tua on whether he would be lighter or the same weight following the same diet and exercise. U answered no. Tua weighed 201 pounds at 20. Marciano prob weighed more but u geniuses really think Tua was “the much bigger man”. U people r a bit slow and don’t understand modern weight lifting training and PEDs and supplements. Dishonest at worst slow at best. This convo is over because I can no longer be nice about the topic.

    Again. That’s not the question. Would Tua weigh more or less or the same in 1950? I didn’t ask if they would weigh the same . This is an honesty test. I don’t think you’ll pasd
