    So the consensus on the forum is that Foreman stops Dubois. But how would the much smaller Marciano of 1952 do?

    Can we stop pitting a small Cruiserweight against big Super Heavyweights it's a mismatch in a size.

    Marciano was great for his time but he's 5'10 185 pounds with a 67 inch reach he wouldn't stand a snowballs chance against the Heavyweights of this era.

    And that's no slight against Marciano it's just simply unfair to pit him against modern Heavyweights. I wish people would make more threads like "Marciano vs Breidis, Beterbiev, Bivol" those are more realistic match ups.

    I just can't envision a man who's dimensions are smaller than mine beating a 6'5 250lb bruiser. Can't envision it. Rocky simply wasn't a HW. He really wasn't even a CW. I think modern day he could've been a SMW.

    Did he ever even fight against anyone over 6'1?

    I’m also wondering why it’s obsessed with matching active fighters who just got one good win with every all time great in history.

    Rocky eats his heart and makes a cereal bowl out of his skull ALL within the first round.

    They draw in a tactical, cagey bout not dissimilar to Nelson - De Leon.

    Oh God the era of Andy Ruiz Jr really changed the landscape… “But if that obese SMW could KO Joshua…”

    He’s the GOAT of course… and no one disagrees that’s why!

    Dubois is not a good fighter. He’s got a ton of heart but he doesn’t have the skill set necessary to win this. Probably ends before 10 Dubois will tire and fail to hit the mark.
