    Marciano average 185 lbs and was 5'10.5 inch fighter who ktfo'd heavyweight giants and legends; 4 ATG at LHW and HW. 3 former or current world HW champs amd one a current LHW champ.
    If you pit 1953 Marciano in today's era, right now would he be Cruiser or maybe even LHW champ of thr world? Undisputed, or just a title holder?

    His weight would have to be cruiser as he look ripped and ready to roll in his high 180s low 190s

    Marciano would never make 175. At Cruiser he would be undisputed, since he would destroy Huck or Lebedev. But, even today Marciano would've fought at heavyweight because that's where the money is at. Tarver, who is no Marciano is ranked in the top 10 at heavyweight and he is over 45.

    So it's agreed. He would be undisputed world cruiser weight champ. He would smash Kovalev at LHW or a 180 catchweight

    No, he'd be a ham and egger taking beatings in clubs for 200 bucks a pop.

    There are many LHW's who come in the ring around 190lbs. Marciano would fit in nicely.

    He would easily plow through the weak CW division, and then move up to HW and destroy the slow, no-talent cab drivers that populate it nowadays.

    Marciano was 190 with probably zero weight training aside from standard bodyweight stuff.
    He could have easily been 220 with some SKWATZ!
