    Haye was stopped by Thompson who Marciano would have destroyed.

    Don't you know that the circular argument does not work in boxing ?!

    Beterbiev vs Marciano would be interesting.

    Two sets of chins would be forensically tested, but whose chin would last longer?

    Charles, RJJ, Toney, Spinks, Holyfield, Beterbiev, Bivol, Ward, I could go on. I don’t rate Marciano very highly as you can probably tell, very limited attributes that wouldn’t bode well against those names, he’d be a light heavyweight nowadays let’s not forget

    Boxers have bad takes all the time. Ali thought Norton would drag Foreman into deep waters and beat him with his superior stamina. Don Turner is on camera saying Rocky hits harder than the Klitschkos.

    Does when Benn failed to stop fighters at 160 and 168 and when Haye was knocked out by a fighter that didn`t have Marciano`s power.

    Ward and Bivol wouldn`t have the power to keep Marciano off and Ward was bad at fighting on the inside.

    Ward bad on the inside? Did you watch him?

    Those guys were more skilled than Marciano.

    That was at the beginning of Haye's career. Thomson was far more experienced.
    We are taking the best version of Haye here, not the early career version.

    Walcott was cuter than Haye.

    Haye went through hell to beat pressure fighters like Mormeck, Fragomeni, who were both similar height to Marciano. No way Haye lasts against Marciano.

    You can say that again Haye was almost knocked out by a Super Middleweight Lolenga Mock at Cruiserweight.

    You're wasting your time. In almost every vs discussion he automatically picks the more recent boxer 9/10 (just because they're more recent) and cannot even explain why.

    With a few weeks training, Allen Iverson (in prime or near prime condition) would clown him. Can't teach athleticism.
