    Marciano never faced a jab that long or a 1-2 like that either.

    Lenny would lose a lot of power aiming straight down.

    I favour Lewis. The physical advantages are just too enormous.

    Lennox by banging 8 round ko. No heavyweight that size, coming forward against a massive puncher, is going to win.

    Marciano doesn't have the athleticism to consistently reach Lewis jaw

    If he can then he sparks Lewis

    Emanuel Steward would have a good laugh about such threads.

    You could make a case that Rocky could compete with fighters Holyfields size, but LL is too big IMO

    Sure do. Marciano gets inside crushes the body to bring the chinner to his size and scores a 10 cnt KNOCKOUT. Chances r Lewis comes in cocky and sloppy, tries to trade and bully ROCCO and get poleaxed in 1 or 2. The return of the historically accurate BRITISH HORIZONTAL HEAVYWEIGHT!!!!!!!

    Marciano was 4 inches shorter in height and had a 14 inch deficit in reach compared to Rahman
