    You're telling me you'd pick Marciano to beat all of prime Ali, prime Lewis, prime Holmes, prime Vitali? He looked unbeatable against the comp of his time, but move him to the '70's and he's just one of the crowd.

    I guess he's thinking Marciano will always fight in the CW divisions of 190 and 200.

    Well I think everyone is beatable. Just different situations and times I think prevents certain fighters from getting beat (if you're fighting 15x a year eventually you're going to have a tough style matchup or off-day, right?).

    But during my lifetime, Roy Jones in the mid 90s, more than anyone, had me thinking "who is going to beat this guy?"
