Joe Louis did have well rounded skills, power and athleticism.

I will concede to you that if you take Joe Louis, make him taller and more heavily built through nutrition, give him pad work and modern interval training and the same recovery cycles etc than modern athletes enjoy and the steroids to allow him a higher volume of training without breaking down then maybe you are right. I can swallow this.

But if you take a guy like Marciano and scale him up I don't buy it. He would be Lamon Brewster. He'd come forward, be tenacious, hit really hard and take a lot of punches. But he'd be slower and still not especially skilled and he would be beat mate. But THAT's now just my opinion
You're wrong. He'd be a bigger, stronger, tougher Rocky Marciano that would DESTROY any current heavyweight in his path.
