Why couldn't Marciano beat Holyfield/Tua/Tyson/Foreman/Lewis/Holmes?

Yup, he weighed 190 pounds in the ring. Take anyone else that size, and I wouldn't give them a prayer against those guys either. Marciano vs Evander Holyfield at Cruiser would have been a hell of a fight, I just don't see how he could have lived with Evan Fields at HW though.

Rocky Marciano

Would have competed at Cruiserweight.

How about matching up all the Cruiserweight Champions with Rocky, and throw in
* Floyd Patterson
* Jerry Quarry
* Jimmy Ellis
* Bob Foster
* Michael Spinks
* Ingemar Johansson

For sure. When Marciano weighed in at 183-188, he came into the ring at 183-188. There was no cutting weight for Rocky.

To put it into perspective, when Kovalev and Pascal fought at 175, Kovalev came into the ring at 189 and Pascal at 185.

When Badou Jack fought Sierra at LHW, Jack came in at 183 while Sierra came in at 200.

When Lucian Bute fought Edison Miranda at 168, Bute came into the ring at 182 and Miranda at 185.

Cruiserweights come to the ring at 215 or more so even then Rocky would be severely outsized. I mean I can't even imagine him in with a 6'3'', 78" reach David Haye.
