    As in, make him a favourite in the pre-fight? I don't think any decent-good boxers are getting it done so you want to look at the very very big punchers. Guys like Bruno and Tua come to mind. Tua might be a bit too low to the ground though.

    These Marciano threads need to die now.

    Tim Witherspoon, Vitali Klitschko or Rid**** Bowe. Or Ike Ibeauchi

    Ezzard Charles of 48 had near 50-50 chance due to styles, I would still favor Marciano though

    People love the guy. They talk about him so much good or bad because he was so great

    The worst fighter I'd pick to beat him? Probably someone like Bonecrusher smith.

    He couldn't beat the legendary Marvis Frazier who had a chin made of cardboard yet you think he'd beat one of the best ever...
