Rate Rocky Marciano head to head as a cruiserweight

marciano v hollyfield = 50/50 imo

 

Of Marciano's opponents, 40 of 49 would be cruiser weights by today's standards (including glandular case Cockell) and 4 of those would be light heavies. Don't let semantics get in your way here. And don't pretend Marciano's era of heavyweights had any resemblance to the modern variety.

 

at cruiser never, marciano had by far more credentials at this weight, evander would fight bravely but he would urinate blood after of the fight

 

Marciano is great, but as far as modern era Light Heavyweights go, i think Spinks and Jones Jr would've given him a lot of trouble.

 

He'd fight it out with Evander Holyfield for the all time greatest Cruiserweight Championship belt.

 

You really think LHW Holyfield was better than prime Spinks and LHW RJJ?!

 

Would have beaten many, but may have lost to a few also. Holyfield comes to mind.

 

you are right about the credentials and blood pissing but i think evander is a difficult proposition for rocky; hollyfield is more likely to score kd's, will likely win early rounds and had more handspeed as a cruiser. The earlier it turns into a brawl the more it favours rocky tho, and if there is a stoppage(non cuts) it is probly evander stopped late.

 

How do you feel he does against Louis of the second Schmelling fight? I don't see why Louis is always exempt from these types of threads. I'd take Louis over Holyfield at cruiser any day of the week.

 

:rofl

this one is the guy who think that every fighter who weighed 217 pounds was how big as foreman because he weighed 217 pounds for the frazier fight, he doesn´t understand that the frame is a natural thing, you can´t make yourself bigger in a gym, more weight is not = bigger.
you could make 2 guys like roy jones with the single the frame of rocky lmao

 

other than holyfield, he'd do well at cruiser, i suppose

 

Why would he be LHW? He came down to 186 not up so I fail to see why he would be LHW
