    This is Prime Jones we are talking about, would be way too slick and way too fast for Rocky to land any solid punches to his jaw. Probably could KO Rocky, or at least TKO.

    Marciano would not need a clean shot to stop roy jones,he would not respect his power at all and would keep making pressure and finally would destroy him, prime roy jones was a 168 pounder.

    I see him losing for sure against Ali and Holmes. I would also favour Louis and Liston over him. Prime Holyfield also has a good chance. He has also been made out to be this destroyer when that clearly was never his style.

    He wouldn't need a cleam punch to the jaw. Body would be there to be hit and Marciano wouldn't respect his power.

    Lennox would dismantle him.

    Too big, too good.

    Holyfield never beats lewis,styles make fights. And i see Foreman knocking him out,bruno had lewis badly hurt i think that george would finish him

    The version of Tyson Lewis defeated shouldn't be any
    indication of how well or not Lewis would do against a
    prime Dempsey. (though yes in my opinion prime Lewis
    beat any version of Dempsey) Prime Tyson stops any
    version of Lewis in my opinion.

    Marciano ain't that good man, he was good for his time but compared to other eras he isn't a GOAT

    Marciano would not beat other all time great heavys but no guy under 190 pounds is beating marciano forget it. He was a monster for his size

    I am talking about natural weight not a smaller man packed of muscle inflated. Roy jones was a natural 168 pounder

    Because Roy would just give up his body and not meet Marciano with anything long before The Rock closed the distance.... Sure thing, bub. Jones hit plenty hard and plenty quick to deck the Marciano who a couple of geriatrics decked.

    Jack's only chance is to dynamite Lewis like he did Willard, I think he has a 1 in 3 or 4 chance to do that

    Marciano always has to be included in the mix

    He also said Shavers would beat Louis. I wouldn't take anything he says to seriously.
