    Again why are you bringing 7lb up, I said you wouldn't be so doubtful of Marciano if he weighed around 210-215lb.

    That's the amount quoted by Mongoose and agreed by Reznik, that Marciano would need to add to be competitive.
    Are you actually reading the responses or just biting at my posts? lol

    I'm not going off what they said, I'm going off what I said. Marciano wouldn't just scrape into the HW division if he was going to fight there.

    Actually you could be more wrong I would give him less chance , because I believe he would be slower,and that the extra poundage would adversely effect his stamina.NB notice I underlined believe.

    That first pic is no different than the ones I posted, just a different pose that flattens his chest and doesn't show his arms. Second pic is of a muscular back. Your description is comically insane. You don't see muscle on that man at all?

    fibre, skin and bone...is this guy...

    From the same fight...

    [url]http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/the-winner-and-new-world-heavyweight-champion-rocky-marciano-by-of-a-picture-id496022030[/url]

    Marciano at 185 and Evander at 187 are both lean muscular men. Evander at his real height of 6'1", Marciano at 5'10. 3 inches of height, Marciano slightly thicker thighs, that's about it.

    Regarding the computer fight, Maricano was a 46 year old man that had not stayed in consistent shape. There's a difference between adding fat and muscle. Marciano added fat after he retired. In the publicity pics from his heavyweight title reign, he's in solid shape over 200 pounds. Marciano in his physical prime has weighed as much as 193 and not looked fat. You're crazy to think a few pounds and Rocky goes from a lean machine to a blob.

    like a told you, evander at 187 looked skinny and marciano looked robust, evander was 6'2 and maybe even 6'2 and a half, he was 6'1 in your dreams... i saw evander in new york ,i am 1,86 a little over 6'1 and evander was taller than me.
    evander could carry more weight than marciano effectivelly this one is the point

    Go and look at him compared to other fighters, it's clear to see he's not that tall. George Foreman looked a fair bit taller.
