    Difficult when the modern HW in question was schooled by a former MW champion.

    This is the same forum where people tried to say Joe Louis would beat Lewis and both Klitschkos. There's no reasoning with people that delusional.

    Would you favour Lewis over Valuev?

    Louis wouldn't be a top 10 contender in today's HW division. Neither would Marciano.

    Of course I would. What does that have to do with this discussion?

    Lewis: Height = 6'5, Reach = 84, Weight = 250.

    Valuev: Height = 7'0, Reach = 85, Weight = 320.

    Explain to me exactly how Lewis will overcome a 7 inch height deficit, a 1 inch reach deficit and a 70 pound weight deficit.

    How exactly did Marciano "struggle" with Layne or C0ckell?

    Yet Eric Molina was despite his only notable victory being a come from behind ko against a shot Adamek?

    Yet Dominic Brezeale was despite his only victory of note being against Amir Mansour?

    Yet Charles Martin was despite his only victory of note being against an injured Glazkov?

    And what's even worse, beating these 3 men is enough to make someone the heir to the HW division and the most feared contender in years!

    because he doesn't eat as many burgers as sam peter, carry a tub of heart slowing lung bursting muscle slowing mass of blubber around him and gass out inside 6 like he does presumably.

    Any bum can be a top ten contender today with the right management.

    Audley Harrison was ranked in the top ten, before he had even fought anybody at Commonwealth level
