Quarry had to compete against bigger men than Rocky did. Ali, Lyle, Norton, Frazier Foster and Shavers were truly big HW's and certainly more...
I too favor Marciano but it would certainly be no walk in the park. Quarry could punch, box, counterpunch, take a punch well and had good...
Gil Glancy once said that Foreman wasn't a power puncher, he was a clubber and I agree. A big strong guy who would club you to death. Louis on the...
Ali Frazier I should be in the top 10 imo and I'd place Dempsey Firpo a little higher as well

Before Marvin won the title he faced tough fighters auch as Monroe, Watts, Briscoe, Hart and Warren and had to go to Philly to take on Watts and...
The size disparity between 175 lb and 200 lb fighters and modern HW's is much greater than it was 50 years ago. Picture Ezzard Charles or Archie...
I would say Shavers I and Norton. Those versions of Holmes could've beaten any HW champion past or present....Not Would've mind you but ceratinly...
I think it's fair to say that Jeff, along with many of the old time HW's benefitted from the fact that at the turn of the century there weren't a...
