For me ketchel is the hardest hitting pound for pound fighter ever, could marciano have walked through him? also with the rocks bad skin, ketchel could have opened his face eally bad

Yes. .

For me a prime ketchel hit harder than an old louis, walcott, and moore, also both moore and walcot dropped marciano, and ketchel had devasting, freakish power

Ketchel was a terrific puncher but he probably couldn't have kayoed the Rock.

I'm not sure he hit harder than Louis or Moore but either way he's not knocking out Marciano he may get a knockdown but I think Rocky would take him out pretty quick.
You have to remember that Johnson just played with him untill the knockdown, Marciano didn't play around.

Ketchel's best punches were like baseball throws, big open shots which Rock would step into and land short hooks.
