    Hagler wasn't a big framed middleweight.
    He possibly weighed 164 to 168 in the ring, I doubt he weighed more than that.

    Marciano was a heavyweight, after all he was the heavyweight champion.

    Why did you feel the need to ask this question?

    He was a heavyweight in the 1950s. Is men who weigh 178 pounds, heavyweight in the present?

    No reason if none at all, why does it bother you?

    So is there a suggestion being made that even if Marciano comes in at 178, he will have an unfair advantage?

    you are wrong, actually he weighed 178 in a fight, and he weighed several times 184

    I've already said, its that Tommo/Glover clown back again.

    You know the one who thinks Tommy Morrison would beat Ali?

    This is his handiwork, he puts in smaller guys vs bigger guys to make a point that bigger fighters are better.

    I know his game.

    I think its the same ****head who runs heavyweightblog.

    Marciano isn't fighting today though is he? He was fighting in the 50s.

    And in the 50s he was a heavyweight, not just any old heavyweight but the best.

    Just like today, Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight on the planet after ridding the boxing world of the cheat, Wladmir Klitcko.

    I was told these men should be matched as they are, and today a 178 pound Marciano could potentially fight at middle.

    Why is that unfair? Are you suggesting he has heavyweight power in that frame and would walk over today's middle weights?

    Look at all the newbies so focused on weight.

    Rocky was a hwt used to taking and giving hwt type punches. One punch landed to a vital area from Marciano ends the fight.

    I reckon Hagler might even do well against a random 185ish fighter.

    Rocky was not a random 185ish fighter
