Under 200lb Tournament, Semi-Finals # 2 Rocky Marciano vs # 6 Evander Holyfield

Marciano all day everyday. Holyfield naturally is quicker then the Rock. But at less then 200Lbs. he doesnt look strong and his style is tailor made for Rocky. Marciano KO.

 

Holyfield can outbox Rocky on the outside with his much greater reach and speed, and maybe back him up too. Stamina wise they are even, Holyfield's workrate at Cruser was phenomenal. On the inside I see Holy holding his own. Marciano would have his moments but would get clearly outpointed

Holyfield UD

 

Holyfield couldnt hold off Qawi by boxing from the outside. He would never hold off Marciano.

 

XPERT post m8. :thumbsup

Holyfeild is too fast for Rocky IMO. :bbb

 

Rocky would be too strong for him. Holyfield wouldnt be able to hold him off IMO. Rocky wears him down late and stops him down the stretch

 

How fights had Holy had by then 11 or 12 was it? He ko'd him in the rematch. Plus he was only 185lbs there, I'd take the 202lb version who fought Tillis and tell him to skip breakfast

 

Holyfield beat Dempsey? The fight must have been held in New Joisey! Rocky over Holy by k.o.

 

Never. Holyfield may have been to fast for fat, old Qawi, but not for prime Marciano. Holyfield is not strong enough to hold Marciano off him. Marciano was also quite capable of stepping the workrate up. Marciano also carried KO power late into fights as well. Holyfield dont hit hard enough to bother Marciano. Add to that Holyfield brings nothing to the table that The Rock hasnt seen and it adds up to a Marciano victory.

 

Holyfield faster and the more accurate puncher. An amazing war of attrition with Holyfield winning on points (as this is the Cruiserweight version) Evander showed he could get through Hellish moments and would have to here.

 

Take em at 200. Marciano beat better boxers than Holyfield and made a carrer of beating heavier Men.

 

How many Elite-level fighters over 200lbs did Marciano beat, remind me?

 

How many ATGs did Holyfield beat? Marciano beat four.

 

I thought we were talking about a fight 200 pounds and under.

 

Tyson for one
