Bump.

I've always contended he would have fought at CW today, but this post adds a different perspective. If he walks around in the 180s, I definitely could see him cutting weight to 175, come in the ring 183-188.
Opens a whole new way of comparing Rocky with today's fighters.

WOW! Rocky @ 175 vs Roy Jones Jr., Antonio Tarver. No way would he try to cut down to 168. I think NSBTBell stated he was caught a few times sneaking snacks. Guilty of bananas under the pillow I think? LOL!


Dream Fight Marciano vs Billy Conn!
I think he beats every single LHW today be it Bivol, Beterbiev, Pascal, Kov, Jack, Smith.
Way much better at leveraging shots, generating maximum power. But his stamina would be credited for his KOS over his power.
Michael the jinx Spinx would beat Rocky.
