Who do you pick to stop Marciano?

Wlad
Lewis
Vitali
Tyson
Foreman

In fact there' loads more.

 

Louis
Liston
Dempsey
Ali
Foreman
Frazier
Holmes
Maybe Holy if he doesnt get stopped himself.
Tyson
Not getting into the giants like Lewis Klitschko as that's another weight class for me.

 

The question is: Who would stop him below 190lb ?

 

Good fights would be Moorer, Spinks, Holyfield, Dempsey, Tunney. Young Louis could make 190 too, dunno about Baer. I don´t see Schmeling doing very well.

 

Disagree on Dempsey, Marciano wins that one, much more proven fighter. Dempsey had a punchers chance he was a great puncher but I don’t give him good odds

Frazier may beat Marciano, but I don’t think by stoppage

Holyfield definitely istn stopping Marciano

If Cobb could go 15 with Holmes, so could Marciano

Ali Marciano probably goes the distance like the Frazier fights

The rest I agree with

 

It is hard to pick anybody to stop him, because we don't really know what it would take to stop him.

Having said that, if you matched him against some of the more formidable punchers in the divisions history, who would be able to exploit his come forward style, it would be reasonable to infer that something would probably give.

 

Charley Goldman said Marciano had an iron chin.

On film, we have never seen Marciano put on rubber legs or badly hurt unless you consider Walcott’s left hook in round 11 which did buckle marcianos knees


I think it took either a really big sized massive puncher or an all time great volume puncher to stop Marciano, and it wouldn’t be easy

 

marciano would make holyfield have to dig deep. that could spell problems for the rock. he, marciano, could definitely go down, maybe early. out, i don't know.. but down, for sure.

 

Very intruiging question!

Roided version or non roided?

 

In dream land maybe.
