    Instead of Louis, Charles, Moore and Walcott, Rocky fights:

    Billy Conn
    Bob Pastor
    Gene Tunney
    Tommy Farr

    Does Marciano go undefeated vs the Prime version of these fighters?

    He beats all of them, Tunney would outbox him for a bit, but Marciano would start to get the better of him down the stretch until Tunney is finished, he’d grind him down and stop him.

    I wouldn't really classify Farr as a "mover".
    Tommy had the boxing acumen and the chin to go the route with Rocky, but I doubt he beats him.
    Tunney has the best chance imo,though I would pick Rocky to catch him at some point.

    I think Tunney has at least a 50-50 chance vs. The Rock. I'd favor Rocky over the other 3 though.

    Marciano puts a Grebian level beating on Tunney once he catches the running Marine. Also wins over the other three...Conn isn't going to look as good as he did in his first Louis fight.

    Is Grebian a real word?

    Don't question the greatness of Greb, nor his own ability postmortem to make words.

    Tunney I will pick confidently to beat Marciano. Conn might get it done, but I don’t think so. Pastor is the real interesting one…very live underdog here. Farr could do a bit of everything & would be competitive for at least a while.

    All good fights and something to learn from watching them.
    I’ll pick Tunney to win if he doesn’t “fight” Marciano same with Conn.
    I would not be surprised if Marciano proved me wrong he was a winner and did everything to get over the line for Gold.

    I think Tunney has the best chance--might be a similar outcome to his fights against Dempsey.

    Goes 2-2, he beats Farr, loses either to Conn, Tunney or Loughran.
    Probably gets Loughran if he gets any of these three.

    I only know about Conn and Tunney, I don't believe either of them would beat Marciano
