    Bonavena was 5'10 1/2 confirmed by all sources I've seen. That is an undisputed face. And even if we take your imaginary height, the OP specifically states fighters above 6'4.

    He'd beat Hein Ten Hoff. With someone much better than that we're really in uncharted territory and I can't run a mental simulation that looks convincing.

    I think Rocky would do very well against most of the bigger heavyweights after his era. I think guys like Wilder, Vitali, Tony Tucker, Joshua, Bruno, Bonecrusher Smith, etc... would be tailormade for Marciano, since I can see Rocky eventually getting inside on all of them and tearing them apart.

    However, I could see him having a tough time with guys like Wlad, Bowe, Lewis, Late 80’s to early 90’s Foreman, Fury, since these guys are versatile fighters and aren’t afraid to fight dirty and would be wrestling and leaning on Marciano all night. What would make these fights interesting is Marciano was every bit as dirty and didn’t mind using elbows or low blows to even the playing field. Shkor used plenty of dirty tactics on Marciano and was getting the upper hand until Marciano hit him with a hard lowblow to keep the fight fair.
