    To be honest it'd take at least 2 rounds to weather the storm.

    In the order of who I would most likely pick....

    1. Ali
    2. Holmes
    3. Lennox or a Klitschko

    Huge bump but Lennox Lewis. I believe on his day in his prime, he could have beaten any Heavyweight in history.

    AT HIS VERY VERY BEST Rocky Marciano would never ever get the Least bit tired and would actually on the contrary become stronger and stronger as the fight went on---do you know any fighters who were like that? Frazier tired, Ali tired, Lewis really tired, Tyson tired, Bowe and Holyfield turned to sluggish lumbering clinchers, Shavers couldnt keep his hands up--- etc... I think Larry Holmes woulda given Marciano the most trouble, if anybody could OUTLAST this guy. Who could outlast Marciano? He was a frikkin steeamroller, steamin over all the people, this guy threw 100+ punches per round, like a frikkin windmill. TELL ME WHO COULD STAND UP TO THAT

    I reckon Sonny Liston would blast him inside of 5.

    Rocky Marciano out-smokes 'em all by crouching down below their range, and coming up from the floor with rib-shattering hooks and vein-bursting uppercuts under the armpits. NO GADDAM WAY IN HELL ANYBODY EVER BEATS THIS SONOFABITCH.

    He was small cruiserweight. To think that he would beat someboidy like Vitali is crazy!

    To me it is an interesting proposition, because, at some point being so much taller quits being an advantage. Being 6'7" and fighting a 5'10" guy, that fights out of a crouch in which his weight is back and away from the jab/right hand (as opposed to Frazier who, looking for the left hook, had his wt forward, thus easier to hit with jabs/right hands), is not an enviable position. Do you want to reach with a jab or right hand, or jab down, at a guy that his always looking to wing a right hand? Because you'd be leaning right into it, and I'm pretty sure that a 190 pound guy, as fit and strong as Marciano could hurt anybody he hit on the chin with his right hand. And his work rate, unless the taller guy could tie him or lay on him up close, would be a factor.

    helps to set the rules before you start asking such questions H otherwise you might as well just start your boxing organisation with this chopping and changing crap.
