Which other former heavyweight champs could have stopped Berbick in 2 while he was champ?

Louis
Foreman
Dempsey

Struggling to think of more. Liston, Lewis and Marciano definitely stop him, but I don't think they'd do it in 2

 

Not at age 20.

In prime: Foreman and Lewis. I tend towards Lewis, like Ruddock, Golota and Grant.

 

Foreman
Lewis
Marciano
Klitchkos
Wilder
Liston
Dempsey
Lol keep forgetting people and of course Louis

 

Wilder?

 

Yeah I added people...the question was who could. And he def “could”. I don’t think Berbick could compete with the top guys all time

 

Lennox Lewis. Sonny Liston. George Foreman (First reign).

 

Charles Martin ?

 

Louis
Dempsey
Liston
Foreman
Lewis

 

Dempsey and Foreman would be my 2 largest bets

 

Lewis would definitely do it imo. Berbick would touch a nerve and there would be bragging rights for the best Jamaican-Canadian at stake. Look how that panned out for Razor.

Lennox was a beast when you stoked his ego and Berbick had a habit of getting up his opponents' noses.

 

Quite a lot tbh

 

Tbh, alot less than knocking Cleveland Williams out in 2

 

Possibly a surprising amount. Berbick is pretty much a come forward fighter with not a lot of power. He could also be hurt tho i wouldn't say he had a weak chin as such.

I'd back Foreman mark 1 all day long. Joe Louis would be a good chance. Liston as he wouldn't have to chase. Lewis if he lands a clean right on his early as he'd follow up.

A fascinating match would be against Shavers. Shavers is pretty limited but there's also a very live chance he could get Berbick out of there early while fresh.

Marciano i think would take a bit longer.

Guaranteed there'd be a couple of big punching contenders thru history that would get the job done. a couple of people we aren't envisioning.

 

Rocky Marciano
