Rocky had the bad timing of being in the heavyweight division when most of the greats were either too old or not yet contendors.
Liston would have knocked him out. Cassius would have cut him up.

Him and Lennox Lewis are the only two HW champs to beat every guy they ever faced.
Rocky was incredible.
He would get crushed today.
That's a no-brainer
But I thought this was the weakest HW era ever?
Marciano weighed less than most LHWs do in the ring today. I think he'd do just fine there or 168. And if Tzoldt fricken Erdei can win a title at CW, I'm pretty sure Marciano could as well.
Wouldn't even be a cruiserweight today. Doesn't make him any less great though.
