George Chuvalo vs Rocky Marciano
I think this would have been one of the greatest HW fights of all time.
Two men who simply couldn't be broken, two men with iron in their fists and enormous hearts, who never take a backwards step and never stop punching.
Wow what a fight that would have been!

OK good, so in that case, Rocky outlasts him in a 14 round donnybrook. Marciano KOs Chuvalo with an uppercut in the 14th.

I dunno I think Chuvalo by body shot KO in the 8th... but it would be tough!

hurting Rocky to the body is like boiling water at the North Pole. With no hands.

Rocky Marciano
A Slug-Fest while it lasts.
But, Rocky by a TKO in 9.
George does not go down, but takes a lathering in Rounds 6, 7 and 8.
Swollen eye's will do George in, as he cannot see during Round 9.

I always thought Rocky v Holyfield (cruiser weight) would have been the fight of the century.

I think it could be a fairly evenly fought contest but this comment, as is usual for any of yours is ludicrous!
You think the iron chinned Chuvalo who was never knocked off his feet in 100 fights during a heavier and higher quality era than Marciano is going to be wasted suddenly by a 185lb plodder?
Marciano cannot win this one by knockout, only by overwhelming George furiously. George who can hold his own in this fight just as easily and only Chuvalo has chances to win by KO.

Please don't.
First you guys deny Haye's competitiveness with Holyfield, now you want to credit Marciano with it?
When did Marciano ever fight a guy 1/20th of Holyfield?

There was a reason we deny Haye's competitiveness. He was not a great cruiserweight in the league of Evander. Haye lost, struggled and was knocked down at the weight.

He breath takingly dispatched nearly all of his opponents in startlingly more savage fashion than Evander did! Very high quality opponents too I might add!
This Haye DID take chances too to get the job done in this fashion.
If Evander is the best CW ever, Haye is certainly number 2!

So far I CAN agree with this!
Finally.

I wanted you to pick on the fact that I said all time.
How could I possibly prove it? You are slipping. :)
