It's possible. Willard was a naturally large raw boned toughman, not an artificially steroid inflated hulk. He'd also had a resume which included winning the HW Title over 26 rounds in 100+degree heat. But I don't believe today's boxers have the sort of heart which induced Willard to keep getting up until the bell saved him.
