    He beats Patterson, Leon and Johanson.

    He loses to the rest, most badly.

    I prefer matching him against people his own size if you're not allowing him extra weight.

    i agree with your predictions but, lets say holyfield at 209 and rocky at 190 who do you pick.
    i give rocky a good shot against holmes and Liston

    Holyfield and Rocky have both weighed 190 on fight night.

    If you're allowing Holy an extra 20 pound of muscle I'd allow Rocky the same to keep it even.

    If Rocky and Holy are the same weight I favour Rocky to beat him.

    holyfield was in shape at 209, rocky would be fat over 190... they were not the same size. yes,evander was a cruiser for a time but he evolved to a solid 209 guy, at 218 he was packed of muscle but he looked more natural at 209 he could carry it pretty well, rocky was smaller

    Dude, seriously. This is why people can't take Marcianistas seriously.

    My goal is accuracy.

    He was one of the best punchers of all time. 160lb Golovkin punching harder than top 10 HW contenders should make you take a step back and reassess your narrow criteria of what qualities are the most important.

    Patterson- 6th rd knockout
    Johanson- 5th rd knockout
    Liston- losses on cuts late or knockouts liston out in the 8th
    Clay (first Ali)- Catches Ali by the 7th rd
    Frazier- Knocks Frazier out by the 10th in a pretty hard war
    Foreman- Marciano UD (Foreman wasn't really a fighter who threw punches you couldn't see coming)
    Ali(70s)- Ali UD in a pretty close fight
    Norton and Leon Spinks(to me they were not champs)- Marciano knockout by 6th
    Holmes - I honestly believe Marciano would give Holmes trouble and stop him in the 12th rd. Hard fight to choose though
    Tyson - Knocks him out late
    Holyfield- Marciano UD
    Bowe- Tough fight again, similar to the Holmes fight but I still have to go with Marciano same rd
    Lewis- Lewis UD
    Vitali - knockout 10th rd
    Wladimir - Knockout 5th rd

    Rocky has weighed as much as 193 in his prime. Why does Combat continue to ignore things he's been corrected on in other threads?

    Of the three times I know off the top of my head that Rocky came in over 190, it was against larger physical fighters, two of which were 220 plus.

    The only larger man he didn't come in heavy for was Joe Louis, who he used lots of movement against. I think if Rocky was faced with a gauntlet of larger brawlers and not LaStarza, Charles..types...he would come in over 190 more frequently.

    And all this talk of him suddenly becoming a blob if he goes over 190 is absolute non-sense.

    Rocky at 193...

    Not much difference between the pics of him at 185-189. Because it's only 4-9 ****ing pounds on a heavyweight.
