Nobody could have done it. Matthews might get stopped early. Walcott could make it into the late rounds against prety much anybody. Charles would definitely be able to make it into the late rounds after Walcott was through with you. In the unlikley even that you somehow survived Walcott and Charles then Marciano would just steamroll what was left of you.
The Klitschko brother's aren't KOing Charles or Marciano inside 1-2 rounds. Heck, one of them won't even beat him. Vitali after fighting 3 fighters like that would lose too. The guy with the best chance is Mike Tyson, followed by Foreman and perhaps Liston. Nobody would probably be able to do this. KOing Rocky in round 1 is probably something you won't be able to do, especially after going 3 fighters with the guys you did.
I think Ali in the 1960's, relly belive he could have done it, if he COULD do it is other question, but Ali was pretty great in the 60's when he beat Williams. I shock people ant saying that Ali would do it.
Definitely not an act of just praise for Dempsey but hidden self-praise. It's a his own self-interest to say this.
If anybody is going to do it, it is going to be a finisher who will not have to go as many rounds. Think Langford, Dempsey, Louis, Tyson and a lot of luck.
ali would not take those guys out that fast...he would not take out rocky in one even if ali was freash and rocky had just fought 3 fights...i think ali beats rocky..but not in one...i know...you got the liston fight...but really liston was up...it was more a matter of walcott screwing up the count
i have seen different clips of ali talking about fighting rocky< of course he said he would win< but he also said it would have been a hard fight>>> no one round ko
Well, young foreman was like a amatuer, big strong freak of nature, but his skills sucked in many ways.
