    That and he was stopped by the only significant ones he fought. Excellent observation.

    Young was natural 213 pounds.

    That means he punched harder than Marciano, Holyfield, Joe Louis, Dempsey, Baer, and at least as hard as Liston.

    Pound for pound, Rocky may have been the greatest heavy of all time (others include Langford and Dempsey and Louis), but this is not a pound for pound match up. If we could see the two men standing next to each other, in their primes, we would realize we are asking just too much of the Rock. At least, that is my opinion.

    I still maintain that the best version of Marciano could conceivably beat this version of Lewis
