That would be quality. Ike is an enigma and is basically judged on the Tua and Byrd fights. At best it's ashame he blew his chances and went off the reservation. I like Holyfield in that one, think his in and out combination punching would suit him well and he wouldn't get suckered into a tooth and nail war inside. He had the mentality to get Ikes respect and the experience to exploit mental fragility that may have been there.
Marciano and Chuvalo may very well turn one another into hamburger. Really never thought of that one. Chuvalo did not face too many wrecking ball punchers and Foreman and Frazier got him out. Then again Marciano imo tends to get a bit of a pass on fact that he never topped 190 lbs. Respect to em but 190 is 190 in the heavyweight division. He'd be the puncher but also one of the smaller guys Chuvalo faced. Does he get Chuvalos respect, I honestly have no idea.
