    Don't think so.

    The 175 option was there for them in their own day.

    Marciano trained DOWN to the mid 180's...he walked around on either side of 200.


    Since his day, I would pick Ali, Lennox, Foreman, Vitali and Maybe Fury to beat him at HW.

    Everybody else is a 50-50 or loses.

    Most would be fighting at cruiser or bridger.

    I agree with that! He'd have to weigh in at over 200 pounds to be sanctioned by today's governing bodies, as a Heavyweight, or to be accepted by present day boxing fans as a Heavyweight.

    I hope not. Ugh. It still is with the WBC, but the other organizations haven't gone for it. Yet.

    Liston would absolutely butcher Marciano, that’s just the first one off the top of my head
