    Division is so weak its possible

    If Lennox was still around the great tight fisted dwarf Marciano would be humbled

    Rahman knocked Lewis out cold a KO, not a TKO, McCall TKO'd Lewis..........................Marciano was only 5'10", mostly fighting fighting fighters over 6 feet.............................he would be fighting at cruiserweight today, don't know if he could have lost 10 lbs. to get down to 175, Marciano only weighed 185, but he was extremely strong, hard puncher for any weight.........................

    I guess he would be one of the top Cruisers today, albeit being a pretty light one.
    He could certainly make 175 in this day and age, but not sure if that would be in his best interest.
