    Sam Langford? AB? (Guy really weighs 190lbs so there's that) Michael Moorer? Curtis Sheppard?
    They all have enough power.

    Your opinion is like your pen1s, the only way someone will accept it is if you force It down there throat till they give up.

    He never scaled below 176 for a fight, so technically no. But his first four fights were around the light heavyweight range, 176-178 1/2.

    Starting with his fifth fight he was 180 and was 180-190 until he stepped up to heavyweight at 202 to fight Quick Tillis.

    How is it insulting a legend.?
    It's not saying that Lightheavys knock the crap out of him.
    Just, which could possibly replicate Moore.
    I'm sure a lot worse has been said about Rocky on here.

    Would you say that Ali could fight Shavers five times and beat him?
    But along the way would you say Ali doesn't get shaken at least once?
    So this asking who could perhaps hurt Rocky but what's the chances of him actually losing?

    Any boxer can split a nose, it was just a freak accident like a cut eye, didn`t require heavyweight power.

    M.Spinks could have dropped Marciano, he stopped Cooney who was far bigger.

    Wow Holy was 202 at the start of his heavyweight days, thought he looked small in them early heavyweight bouts, Tyson would have smashed him at that point.

    That bit about the split nose was just me messing around a bit Mark. Actually dropping Rocky tho would take some doing.

    Thing is tho mate, when Spinks beat Cooney, he'd seen better days. Hed been in and out of the ring and basically over relaxing. Now the version that faced Holmes? That's a tough one for Spinks.

    He was 210 for Pinklon in his second heavyweight fight. At the same time Mike Tyson was in the 215-218 range.

    When they fought they were both 218.

    And when they fought, Holy smashed Tyson to bits.

    lol Tyson under Rooney was a monster, no fighter weighing 210 could have beaten a prime Tyson, Holy even struggled with Stewart, he changed his style for his rematch with Bowe he was far too easy to hit before that at heavyweight.
