    Dempsey
    Marciano
    Liston

    Is he there till the last bell against prime version of those guys?

    If he did against Louis he can against those guys, maybe besides Dempsey who could possibly blitz anybody.

    I think Liston stops him and Dempsey, because of his intensity has a good chance too .

    Dempsey absolutely could. Not saying the others wouldn't but he had that speed along with the power.

    IMO Dempsey early whereas if Liston stops him it's mid fight or late rounds.

    Marciano and Dempsey probably, they don’t stop coming at you, especially Marciano, he’d keep the pressure on constantly until you have nothing left, Farr probably wouldn’t go the distance here even if he was in survival mode, because he’d be forced to work.
    Liston may be content with keeping Farr backing up and pumping the jab out, and putting Farr in his box and doing more to take a very clear decision.
    But I’d pick Liston against Marciano and Dempsey.
