    Since I think Charles was in his prime at or about LH I pick Rocky,but if Marciano isnt on his best form a decision win for Charles is allways a possibility.

    At 10% to 20% chance, definitely.

    Maybe, maybe not. I think Charles would have benefited immensely from seeing how Ali fought Liston.
    If he'd learned to exploit his physical advantages like Ali--staying on his toes, on the move, spraying punches from distance-- I'd make him a favorite for sure.
