    Impossible to answer. I can tell you Marcianos defense, style, stamina, are the keys to being a lot more successful then the other two. Because Marciano doesn’t lead w his head like the other two he stands a better chance at lasting into the deeper rounds where anything could happen. If he survived that long.

    Of course! Dempsey could box. Prime Frazier and Marciano would come to George which is suicidal for any crouching Foreman opponent. Dempsey would side step, feint, and look to quickly capitalize on an opening.
