If Ali Fought Marciano's Opponents and Marciano Fought Ali's Opponents.....

In the heavyweight there's only Marciano. :) In the lower weights you have guys like Joe Gans, Ray Robinson, and Julio Cesar Chavez. There are other men with outstanding records as well.

Foreman could KO anybody who weıghs 45 pounds less/6 ınches shorter than he. Holmes had a 63 ınch reach, Marciano a 67 ınch reach. That would not be quıte a faır fıght eıther wouldnt you thınk?
As for the other 3, Marciano smokes Frazıer ın 5, Lıston ın 7, and Norton ın 3.

If Norton can break Ali's jaw I'm sure he has a good chance of knocking down/out Rocky but it is boxing and at the end of the day nothing is set in stone.

Tyson knocks out Rocky.

Why the need to revive a 5 year-old thread that had already been beaten to death?

Boring, boring and boring! If, if what a waste of time. Look, this is the way it is, Rocky fought the top guys of his era, Ali fought the top guys of his era, Holmes did the same, Tyson did the same, Lewis did the same thing. As the years rolled by the fighters grew larger just like they have in all pro sports. Could all the modern HW Champs beat Rocky, of course they could, but it's a waste of time to talk about it because everyone has already figured it out.
If you still don't think you're wasting your time think about this; modern fighters have better camps, eat better, have fewer fights; and, generally, have better trainers. I think they are all a hell of a lot smarter, also.

I think heavyweights are bigger but not necessarily smarter. Look at Seth Mitchell, although very early on his career, he is limted.
