    Any fights that took place from January 1st, 1960 and on don't count.

    Only use boxers and whatever form they showed from 1910-1960 only.

    Keep in mind the weight these boxers were at in ring and the quality.

    Usyk, Briedis, Gassiev, Glowacki, Huck, Dorticos, Wlodarczyk all in their prime.

    I'll start with a couple of good ones, Rocky Marciano and Joe Louis.

    That class of cruisers was such a bunch of high level operators. There's only 4 guys I'd give a serious chance of winning it, and that would be Marciano, Louis, Liston, Dempsey. I guess that you could throw Charles, Walcott and Moore in there too. Can't see anybody else with a chance.

    Usyk would outbox both of them. Marciano had puncher chance cause he was hitting f*ckin hard.

    Joe hit hard himself, was better defensively than Rocky and a much better puncher technically speaking. Usyk did have a tendency to start slow in his fights. AJ fight was one of the few times that wasnt the case.
