David Tua and Qawi have more in common with Marciano then the other two. So you’re wrong on that no one was trained that way. To answer your...
If your answer is anything other then Ali you’d be wrong…like way wrong. Liston x2 Foreman Norton x2 Frazier x2 Ellis Quarry x2 Bonavena Folley...

Moore was only 16-0 with 12 KOs against those big mean 209 plus pounders
Walcott was a decent puncher by all accounts. He’s stopped the likes of Charles, Elmer Ray, Harold Johnson, Sheppard. Knocked down both Marciano...
Last point is true. We don’t know how they would be with modern training. History tells us moving up gaining functional weight isn’t a difficult...
