How does Marciano match up against the crop of heavyweights from the 90's?

[Joey Giardello]

Rid**** Bowe
Evander Holyfield
Lennox Lewis
Mike Tyson
Tommy Morrison

IMO Marciano would KO Lewis & Morrison and lose to Bowe, Holyfield & Tyson by decision

[CarlosG815]

Rid**** Bowe
Evander Holyfield
Lennox Lewis
Mike Tyson
Tommy Morrison

Assuming they're all prime...

He surely KO's Lennox and Morrison. Possibly Tyson.

He beats Evander in a decision or possibly late knockout.

Rid**** Bowe and Tyson have the best chances of beating him. Either one could knock him out. Tyson possibly knocks him out sometime before 10 rounds, after that who knows what could happen.

Bowe is probably the toughest fight for Rocky of the fighters listed.

Rid**** Bowe dominates marciano and knocks him out
Evander Holyfield outboxes maeciano and stops him late

Lennox Lewis probably knocks marciano out in the mid rounds, marciano has a punchers chance though

Mike Tyson either knocks marciano out early or gets knocked out himself late, im favoring tyson though

Tommy Morrison gets knocked out by marciano, has a punchers chance.

A well conditioned motivated Bowe, defeats him by comfortable but, competitive decision.

Marciano knocks out Morrison and Lewis.

Evander Holyfield is a war in my opinion with Evander coming out on top because of his size advantage. (Rocky would be a CW these days)

Tyson is a toss up in my opinion it's all a question if Rocky can surive the early goings, if so Rocky TKO 9-12 if not Mike KO 3-5.

You have got to be joking. Marciano would put the glass over Lennox's eyes before he knew it.

Marciano was an awfully hard target to hit, he was able to keep himself low to avoid being hit on the chin and had tremendous punching power and could throw 2 left hooks with blazing speed.

And I doubt Bowe dominates him, but I do agree that he has a good chance at winning.

Rocky had tremendous power and was able to lay out bigger fighters with 1 punch and they weren't able to get back up.

You underrate him greatly.

Are you guys kidding me?

They are from different eras. They all beat Marciano.

A 5'10" 190lbs marciano KOs a 6-5 240lbs lewis??? Rocky would be jabbed and beaten to a pulp.

My money says he slips Lennox's lazy jab and slips inside landing a vicious left hook to the chin resulting in an early KO.

Rahman wasn't a fraction of the fighter Marciano was....

Rocky weighed less than 200 pounds at his best. He would get destroyed by those guys.He didn't even have great defense.All those guys would be too strong and too big for him. All these guys would beat him by KO.

Carmine Vingo was only half-inch smaller than Lewis and Marciano ended the guy's career very nearly killing him in the ring.. it is an advantage to punch up and a disadvantage punching downwards
