Willard and Moran
I was thinking about Heavyweight Title bouts, sorry. Sept 28, 1915. Ted (Kid) Lewis outpointed Jack Britton for the welterweight 12 round title...
Jack Dempsey/Jess Willard bout on July 4, 1919 The contract called for the Referee to decide the winner in the event the vote of the two Judges...
No to both. The announcer question happened in the mid-1940's and the 8 count 1st happened in the early 1960's.
In Walcott's last 19 bouts of his career, he was 10-9. Sure he lost to some Great names, Louis (2), Charles (2), Rocky (2) Maxim & Ray once each...
Joe Louis was past his prime before he fought Marciano. His record was 61-1 with 52 KO's in his 1st 62 bouts. In his last 9 bouts before he fought...

Frazier would have no trouble beating Walcott, Charles or Moore at that time in their careers. Moore was KO'ed by Patterson a year after Rocky...
That's where we disagree. Frazier had some very tough opponents. What if Rocky fought Ali, Foreman etc., I don't think he would be the same...
I agree that anyone can judge for themselves by looking at the films, BUT if you look at Jack Johnson or Harry Greb, they just don't look like all...
Who would Frazier lose too? I can't see anyone, really. Frazier fought the better opponents early in his career and lasted just as long as Rocky...
Styles make fights and I can't see Marciano beating Foreman. George had trouble with boxers, such as Ali, Young and early in his career, Peralta...
Who would win, Marciano or Lewis?
That would be OK with me.
