I agree with your 'eras' which I always 'trowel' out. :) But , given eras, could you consider a prime Rocky, circa, 1970 vs. a prime Jerry circa...
IMO, I don't think Jerry could 'bang' hard enough to hurt Rocky. I great fight but Jerry (as we all know) would opt to slug with Rocky. If no...
A prime HW Liston would, eventually,find a prime "HW" Ezz and end the proceedings.
Is Ali the greatest HW of all time? It is, arguably, something to be debated. But, IMO, the greatest HW of all time would have been that brash HW...

Iv'e seen, what we could, most of their first fight. IMO no 'home cooking'. Maybe an off night for Zora but, from what I saw, Zora stayed "off the...
Styles make fights, you can count the examples. Despite Machen's 'mental' problems, Floyd basically ran the table on him in July 64. Had they...
I would say Patterson (after Liston) had a lot to prove and, IMO, did just that. How many fighters, after losing their title via two massive beat...
I grew up in Indy and saw a couple of Prater's fights coming up. None of us thought he would get as far as he did. No disrespect, but Duane was...
