    Also in a tournament of this type you always get at least one good upset. You expect the unexpected at some point.

    It is at least feasable for any fighter in the tournament to beat any other. So who knows who would be the last man standing.

    I'd like to see it, that's for damn sure. Marciano-Dempsey may be the best for pure barn-storming action, but I would be very interested in Dempsey-Louis. Dempsey must get Louis into a brawl and try to smother him IMO, otherwise Louis will pick him apart in a fashion that well could be brutal. It's a tall order to get Louis into a brawl, though.

    Depends on the draw, I think Marciano gives Ali a tough battle, Marciano TKO 12-15 or Ali UD. I think Marciano/Dempsey could be a damaging fight for both men though I favor Rocky by late KO. Louis/ Marciano a very tough battle ,Louis by close UD...I think Ali outpoints Dempsey with a few scares and I think Louis tko over Ali late or Louis SD Ali......Winner Brown Bomber

    Yeah, I know all the arguments but when 4 fighter like those battle each other at least one upset will happen. This is the least possible that´s why I took it ;)

    Some comments on this are funny and fleaman should get himself some manners.

    agreed--to tough to call i could see any of the three ko,n ali but can also see ali using his speed(in his prime)to dec them all .The fast relentless 1919dempsey would give ali fits.I know ali would prob. dec. the dempsey that fought tunney but then again jack would ko the ali of zaire i.m.o. Even ali said rocky would give him trouble because of his unorthodox style

    I believe Dempsey to be technically better than Marciano, and would have a better chance at Ali than Rocky due to being 6,1" with a 77 inch reach.

    Dempsey is faster than Marciano with his feet and hands and also has unbelievable heart.

    But i don't think any of these guys beat Ali of 1967. Dempsey stopping Ali is near impossible when you consider that a 1980 Ali was stopped once in his career v Holmes when he was 38, with 2 years no training and still never went down.
