Bugner was not a puncher. Yet on few times he opened up the defensive minded Bugner rocked Frazier. Stander was a bum and Ramos too, yet both visibly rocked Frazier in fights where they hardly landed at all.
Archie Moore was a top puncher in his day, and definitely hit harder than Bugner, Ramos, Stander and company! Frazier's chin was suspect. Rocky hit harder than mediocre punchers that knocked Frazier down, or visibly stunned him / bucked his knees.
Lol Archie Moore was a natural 160 pounder. Jersey Joe Walcott was a natural 190 pounder and was pushing 40 when he knocked down Marciano. 170 pound light punching Ted Lowry had Marciano out on his feet. But yeah you will spend things to fit your narrative to try to justify Marciano beating Frazier.

Men may stop growing in height by 20 but they continue to thicken in size as they age.
A man at 20 is not his natural weight, that man is still growing more powerful and doesn't reach full strength to around 25-30. Athletes can push that to few years earlier.
But what a man's weight is at 20 is not his natural weight, that's still to come.
Example: Jimmy Ellis started his career at 157.
When the time comes for you to try to win an argument about Ellis are you going try to BS us into believing that Jimmy Ellis's 'natural weight' is 160 too?
You run off at the mouth with lots of facts, that often really have no relevance to the points you challenging.

Joe Frazier was an Olympic gold medalist and would have a good 20-lb size advantage over Rocky Marciano. He takes it in my opinion.
Frazier weighed in at 205 for the Fight of the Century against Ali. Marciano weighed 185 against Jersey Joe Walcott. Hard to overcome a skill, power, AND size advantage.

No one was 41.
Moore was much better than some of the journeyman that Frazier was stunned by or dropped.
