    i'd say usyk because he is a boxer first and a puncher second. he would not get into a fire fight with marciano unless he had no choice. backed into a corner type situation. i can see him boxing to a split decision.

    At Cruiserweight ? Marciano an ATG swarmer with heavy hands is a bad style match up for Usyk.

    Considering that Marciano weighed under 190lbs throughout his entire career, Usyk's entire Cruiserweight career can be considered valid for this analysis. IMO Usyk has had more success as a CW than as a HW so far.
    Usyk has all the physical advantages except stamina (equal), and punching power. Usyk has the technical advantage as well as the ring IQ. I just think Marciano would be overboxing.
    Usyk wins on points UD.

    Usyk wins this fight without breaking a sweat. His size, footwork and ring IQ are levels above the brute style of Marciano. Different eras and no disrespect to anyone. Usyk probably does the same to Ali and Frazier.

    Usyk would give him the Gassiev treatment
