Who is the worst heavyweight you would favor over Marciano?

Deontay Wilder /sred

 

This is painfull to read!

 

How is a 6'5 250 pound elite skilled boxer with power the worst fighter to beat Marciano?Marciano wouldn't beat Lewis if he had the flu.Marciano wouldn't even be good enough for his sparring partner,how could he be?

 

Larry would have shined in the 60's/70's era,he was a young type fighter at one point was billed as the next Ali until he ran into Bowe.This type of fighter may cause concern for a Marciano.

 

Interestinly enough I would pick bean as well,though stylistically Bean obviously wasnt to technical but he was a fast starter,good chin and could hit like a truck,he certainly could win against the smaller fighter who slowly worked his way into the fight.Bean wasn't necessarily the worst fighter he just lacked stamina at 300 pounds,the question is would Marciano be standing thru 4/5 rounds?I think Marciano can beat better fighters than Bean however style wise I think it shifts in Beans favor, could see the 300 pounder who had underatted speed teeing off on Marciano and getting the fast win,wheather this would happen or not is certainly up for debate,Bean would thrive at a chance against someone shorter than him and outweighed by over a hundred pounds.

 

Who is the worst.. that could've beat Marciano... I not sure any heavyweight in history could have beat him.. but If I had to say.. Leon Spinks... Others mentioned shouldn't be categorize at worst...

 

:good

 

Marciano couldn't beat a Lennox Lewis sparring partner? :shock:

 

Man I hope your kidding. I grew up watching that cream puff. Used to make fun of him to my friends. That guy couldn't fight, couldn't punch, couldn't do anything. He would make a great punching bag for Marciano :good

 

Butterbean is highly underrated.
He hit like a young George Foreman.
Bean was closer to 400 lb than 300 and hard to put down

 

Not really in his younger years he was closer to 300,only when he got in his 30's he became to overweight even for him.his best years were mid 90's/late 90's.

 

No why would a 5'10 guy train with Lewis,he wouldn't be fighting midgets it would make no sense,you spar guys who resemble your opponent.And yes most guys his size would beat Marciano who he sparred with,let along a lennox Lewis would walk thru Marciano even in sparring rather easily.

 

Why don't you list Lennox Lewis sparring partners hot shot

Lewis fought 5'10 guys. Every heard of mike Tyson? David tua? Marciano would be a partner to prepare for those guys

 

Marciano wouldn't mimick Tyson,butler,cooper or a Tua would,Marciano would be way to slow and small for lewis to use as a punching bag.


Malik Scott at 6'4 and huge along with 6'3 Lamont Brewster at 230 would bang him out,i think even Owen Beck at 6'5 and huge would be something Marciano never had to face.Keep in mind I said Marciano wouldn't be good enough to be Lewis's sparring partner,i have a feeling Mcliar is around somewhere?
