    Lol. Big difference in weight class. Floyd is a welterweight. That

    Floyd will duck him though. No way he fight a big puncher at heavyweight even if Rocky was a small heavyweight in today’s era. He can’t even fight Maravilla at 160. He will duck him just like he ducked Margarito, PWill and the prime version of Pacquiao and Cotto.
    yeah those dudes were massive welterweights doe.

    margarito is like 6' tall, 73" reach.

    williams was a freak of nature. 6'1", 79" reach

    marciano was 5'11", 68" reach.

    pacquiao is 5'7", 67" reach.

    canelo is 5'9", 71" reach.

    if they're both in the same weight class, i can't see money losing sleep over a sloppy, slow brawler with a 68" reach.

    Marciano was a beast but his resume isn't as tight as the golden era dudes in the 60's-70's

    He used to hit a 300lb heavy bag

    Floyd v Marciano could look like RJJ v Ruiz

    Not sure that matters given his argument of Rocky not even being able to land a punch. Rocky couldnt cut that low, and I doubt Floyd would want to go up much

    Lol what makes you think Rocky can’t carry his power if he can make let’s say 154. Sanders could not do jack shit at heavyweight and he was knocking the shit out of everyone at 175 when he stepped down.

    Floyd and Marciano resume are both pale in comparison with ATGs. The difference is Floyd cherrypicked while Marciano beat everyone that they put in front of him.

    Rocky was ahead of his time in the sport. Would've dominated if you put him in the 80's too. At the very least would have more compelling fights.

    You said Floyd would win easily if they fight at the same weight class. So basically you dismissed his power. Dude was knocking out heavyweights. If he can make welterweight, he will bonecrush and obliterate everyone including Floyd.

    Of course if he went down to welterweight, he'd lose some power but we can assume he'll still be pretty powerful.

    power means absolutely nothing if you can't land a punch

    canelo, a dude who is knocking out middle-super middleweights now, was 42-0 when he fought a blown up lightweight in mayweather. couldn't land a thing.

    and let's be real, cinnamon is a better all around fighter than rocky ever was. by a good margin.
