Didn't say either couldn't compete, they haven't fought the caliber of opponents that those guys did, regardless of weight. So, they doesn't deserve to be on the list. Maybe not their fault due to competition, but Louis and Marciano would have definately hung with todays guys. Tyson barely weighed over 200 for awhile, and we saw what he did. Bigger you are, harder you may hit, but you fall the same way. Muscle doesn't equal chin. Plus those guys fought 15 rounds. I seriously doubt either Klitchko would last considering their stamina issues and injuries.
Tyson was 220 between 216 on average.
