If Rocky fought Charles, Louis, and Walcott in their primes does it go the same way?

Prime Louis knocks him unconscious or carves his face into steak tartare and gets a stoppage.

He beats prime Charles and Walcott.

 

Marciano gets knocked out by a prime Louis, he's waaaay to easy to hit for a guy like the brown bomber.

 

Loses to Louis.
Splits series with Walcott and Charles.

 

Louis whips him

 

Louis cooks him like a BBQ, the others split a series with him

 

Louis beats all 3.

 

I tend to agree however Louis did say he never liked to be crowded so I give Rocky a shot 25-30% or so, but I think Louis stops him late. Marciano beats Charles and Walcott prime or no prime.

 

Marciano loses to Louis but,as a couple have already mentioned,splits a series with JJWQ and Ezzard.

 

I would give both Joe Louis and Ezzard Charles very real chances at beating Rocky Marciano when at their respective bests. Joe Walcott I can’t say for sure. His prime is very hard to pinpoint.

 

All three I would favour against Marciano (especially Louis). They won't win 10/10 times, Rocky was just so unpredictable and always had that puncher's chance, but they would definitely win more often than not.

 

Louis knocked out every single crowding/swarming fighter he faced before his last fight with Marciano.
No one likes being crowded.

 

Louis would be terrible for Rocky. I see him mashing Marciano s face up and belting him all over.

 

They were all great, and on any given day any one would have beaten the other.

Lot's of people putting Louis on the pedestal, and that's understandable, but let's not forget that Walcott legit beat him in the first fight, and he had his struggles against Schmeling, Conn, Buddy Baer, Galento, Braddock and Godoy.

 

Walcott lost a controversial decision, which he had a habit of doing considering his first fight against Ray and Maxim, and then dropped another one to Layne.
Knockdowns by themselves don't win fights. Walcott lost the first fight and was given his second chance.
We might as well count Marciano's first wins over Charles and Lastarza as robberies in that case.

Bringing up the others doesn't really help your case because all these guys were between 23-32 years old, all much closer to their peaks than any of the best guys on Marciano's resume.
