What you´re saying makes absolutely no sense. It wasn´t so that Holyfield totally destroyed all his opponents, only when he stepped up to HW the big and skilled HW´s troubled him a bit (Bowe, Lewis, etc.), he also struggled with small HW´s like Moorer or Cooper, who weren´t nowhere near the class a ATG like Marciano had.
I agree, altough Marciano wouldn't do better than Qawi did. Qawi was alot faster and buiser than Marciano was. I see Holyfield fighting his fight and doing what he wants. Marciano is great because of what he accomplished, but he was lucky to come around when the division was weak and filled with past thier prime greats greats like Charles, Louis, Moreer, Walcott, ect. If Marciano had fought a bit while longer, he would have been out boxed badly and stopped on cuts against Ali, and knocked out for the first time if he had fought Liston. I dont think hes overated but by some people he is. Holyfield is just in a different league.
Show me where i said that he was better? I said that Qawi was was buiser and quicker than Marciano. :-(
Look at his prediction, he said Marciano wouldn´t do better than Qawi did against Hoyfield, and in another thread he picked Toney to beat Qawi at CW, let´s ask him who win between Toney and Marciano...
You wrote that Marciano wouldn´t do better against Holyfield, and it´s not a style thing or so, so in your opinion Qawi is head-to-head better. Marciano would brutally KO Qawi in 3 or 4 rounds.
No, he wouldn't. Marciano was never even a big heavyweight back then and today he would only be considered a small cruiserweight. The guy was only about 5'10 and 185lbs when he was at his best. That would be an even fight. Its just laughable the way you overate him. The man is great but not as great as you make it seem. He would only be a contender in the Ali/Liston or Ali/Frazier era.:good
