    The 38-year-old Walcott famously started off his first fight with Marciano aggressively, standing flat-footed, pressing the action, and slugging it out with his undersized, 184-lb opponent. The tactics bore some fruit as he repeatedly stung Marciano with heavy punches and even dropped him in the process. How would this fight plan have worked against the following men:

    Floyd Patterson
    Sonny Liston
    Joe Frazier
    Mike Tyson
    David Tua
    Ike Ibeabuchi
    Lennox Lewis

    Patterson down and hurt.

    He could possibly floor Fraizer

    He wouldn't try it with Tyson.

    Or the rest. But I think he'd have enough power to hurt them over the long haul. I think he hit somewhat harder than a >215 lb Holyfield.
