    regarding rocky marciano, i just think he was too small & no where enough skills, he may of been tough as old boots but imagine a clean shot from lennox or anyother of the listed above. couldnt imagine him gettin up many times from that. I think he is overated because he is white

    No way he could live with today's Super Heavies, his natural size was not much different to Joe Calzaghe for instance. Britkid always reckons that Marciano had a loss in his first 10 fight that was stricken from the records

    He would be a cracking Cruiserweight though, can you imagine Rocky Marciano vs Evander Holyfield at Cruiserweight ? Wow is all i can say.

    couldnt imagine many more fights batter than that one

    when we discuss top 10 heavys maybe we should class the smaller heavys from yrs back in the weights they would be today?

    Im in agreement with Ice,Holmes would snipe him to death with that jab,Lewis has this little hitch when he's stalking where he drops his hands and resets them before he throws. Holmes would drill the jab every time he did that. The only way I could see Lewis winning that fight is if Holmes got cocky and pressed him.

    Or we could call them the POUND FOR POUND Heavyweights taking into account the various era's lol

    I used to think the same until i watched a few of his fights, and looked up his record. Amd i was actually quite suprised how many title defenses he made and ETC.

    He obviously was a cracking Light Heavyweight, anyone who beats Archie Moore x5, Charles Burley x2, is bloody awesome. But i don't think he ever won the Light Heavyweight title BIG H.
