    I don't say he couldn't, I say he never did so he is unproven and an unknown quantity against a 220lbs prime quality heavyweight banger ,whereas Tyson emphatically is not!

    I don't believe adding 7lbs to Marciano would improve his power. Do you want to see how he fared when at his heaviest?

    So adding weight improves everybody else's power but not Marciano, alright then.

    Give some examples of 7lbs of added weight improving a fighters power.

    A 40 years old Lightheavyweight dropped and buzzed Marciano.
    Both Holyfield and Tyson are proven in the fire against big hitting super heavyweights Marciano is NOT!

    Why would he add 7lb you plant pot, that still wouldn't make him big enough to face Tyson in this fantasy fight.

    Not the word buzzed, Holyfield had Tyson out on his feet and stopped the man. He put Walcott to sleep and stopped fighters Joe Louis couldn't.

    Mike Tyson never proved himself against a FW, if he didn't prove it then should we doubt he could beat a FW?

    I'm saying adding weight and bulking to compete at HW today he would gain power, you don't believe this to be the case?

    Why the hell are you bringing 7lb up, what relevance does this have to the debate?

    Holyfield scaled 190lbs for his last cruiserweight defence .He scaled 215lbs for the 1st Tyson fight and 215 for the 2nd that's 25lbs and 28lbs respectively , not 7 lbs.Plus Holyfield is a good 4 inches taller than Marciano unless you've discovered way of stretching the Block Buster? Maybe a thicker toupee?

    So no examples from you of 7lbs making an appreciable difference to a fighters power?
