    I really cannot find Miller-Warring.

    "Miller lost a 12-round decision and the belt to James Warring, December 2, 1990, in Atlantic City. “In the final seconds of the first round, after Miller motioned to referee Joe Cortez about a head butt, Warring landed a right hand and Miller went down,” wrote Peltz."

    Yeah, Briedis would be a big dude in Rocky's era. He'd be the biggest guy Marciano would have fought post-Louis. And I don't have anything else to say about that :lol:

    Breidis vs Marciano would've been a war Breidis is a bit bigger with better technical skills. But Marciano has a better engine and is a better puncher P4P.

    Fascinating match up.

    I've never heard of that honestly I have seen Miller's fights vs Norris, Hearns, never knew about him being in trouble vs Warring.

    * Briedis did go up in, and give up considerable weight to Charr...and took his punches without much difficulty.
    * He also faced Dorticos, who was a legit powerpuncher, and stood up well to the Cuban's power-punches.

    He did box and circle against both of those fighters, and I do recall he was rattled against Durodola and Opetaia, but in general his chin should fall into the titanium classification, I think.

    The thing is, the cruiserweights of today are not small heavyweights historically speaking. Almost all of them are well over six foot and 210-220 in ring. That is significantly bigger than Marciano, Dempsey, Tunney, Patterson, Charles, Ingo, Frazier, etc. Even Joe Louis was mostly around 200 pounds in ring
