    Alot of oldtimer would have beaten Lewis and i am going to say easily. In the fight with Tua you can see why. The big shots comed from Tua. Lewis didn't land a single clean power shot. All his punches comed from up there with no power on them and in the best case on the top of Tuas head. Lets take Marciano for example.
    He is shorter. This means even fewer power shots will reach him. Second the stamina! Tua don't have it. He is unnecessery big! Third Marciano has punching power in both hands! Forth he is much more educated and i think that he woudn't go so lame inside and let Lewis tie him! This was the bigest problem from Tua. Every time he stayed outside and let Lewis commit on going away from the ropes Tua landed some insane shots!

    I think that being bigger than necessery doesn't make you better fighter! Knowledge is something different!

    Marciano...The man had a handful of top names on his resume and half the hand was older then dirst when he beat them
    Ok now youre gonna get me talkin'... Marciano was 1 of those guys who was blessed and I dont care when he woulda fought, what time period or how old walcott or moore or charles were, Marciano would persevere. He came along to show that to us. There are some people in history like this, though its rare. Power is the last thing lost, right? 1st round Walcott pounds Marciano like a fucking rag doll, jolting shots that make you wither. Fresh 1st round champion Jersey Joe, not even close to breaking a sweat or fatiguing, full force shots, head and body. Rocky took it in stride. as with the next 12 rounds.

    OH AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE: EZZARD CHARLES WAS 32 years YOUNG when he fought Rocky, and had won 48 of his last 53 fights including against Joey Maxim THRICE, Bob Satterfield, Billy Gilliam, Jimmy Bivins THRICE, Rex Layne, Tommy Harrison, Jersey Joe Walcott, Joe Louis, Archie Moore, etc. He had only been knocked out ONCE in his career before fighting Marciano.

    So these guys couldnt beat a slow, bald, 2 left feet, uncoordinated shoemaker?
