    What's the alternative to coincidence...? You're suggesting he's a clone? :lol:

    Ali once said, "All the great heavweight champs were black. Me...Joe Louis...Rocky Marciano..."

    Slight paraphrase but it was along those lines.

    Trying to parse the meaning of OP`s question, too.

    Maybe the alternative to coincidence is those precise dimensions of a fighter somehow being optimal for a heavyweight rather than two of the best of all time just happening to share them?

    But maybe I am overthinking...
