Let's see- Guys who won belts- Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Hart, Burns, Johnson, Dempsey, Tunney, Schmeling, Sharkey, Braddock, Louis, Charles, Walcott, Marciano, Patterson, Terrell, Ellis, L. Spinks, M. Spinks, Holyfield, Byrd, Jones, Toney, Haye Guys who didn't- Jeanette, Langford, Moore, Machen, Folley, Adamek Some of these guys were solid at and even over 200Lbs. like Johnson, Louis, Holyfield, and others but they all could make the weight at some point. Gimme some match-ups
I would love to see Holyfield take Haye's head off, just to sicken him for comparing himself to a real Great. Really though, Louis KO1 the rest.
Semi-finals Joe Louis vs Jack Dempsey - Louis KO6 Rocky Marciano vs Evander Holyfield - Marciano late TKO Final Joe Louis vs Rocky Marciano - Louis late TKO (cuts)
Marciano would be my favorite over most opponents less than 200 lbs, prime Louis excluded. Louis always weighed around 200 lbs, more or less by only a couple of pounds. He looked very good at 208 against Abe Simon the second time. Perhaps some of his physical peak was spent in the army, though most prefer the younger Louis of the late 30's. Not saying Louis doesn't count as he weighed below 200 lbs in some of his defining fights but he has around 10 to 20 pounds on most of the men listed above.
