    Watching Holyfield /Dokes and started wondering what a slugfest between him and Rocky would look like?

    Marciano was harder to hit than Holy was inthat bout and he punched far harder than Dokes did, he would have stopped him. Marciano was a far better fighter than Dokes.

    similar to this. Dokes is too big and fast for RM. His opponent in this one was bigger and faster than RM but was too slow for Dokes.

    I’d expect Dokes to box Rex Layne’s ears off.

    A fit and focussed Dokes takes it. But getting that version of Dokes is the real gamble here.

    Yeah like he did with Walcott right?

    Layne lands the right and it's all down hill after that

    The most important question is whether Joey Curtis is refereeing or not.
