Marciano is one of the most underrated fighters among boxing circles online that I have ever seen. There is a reason Walcott, Charles and Moore couldn't beat him and it wasn't because of age. Marciano has an underrated defense and his size would only make it harder for today's oversized, out of shape heavies to hit him.

Marciano is a product of his era, after WW2, competition was what it was, himself a 175-pounder vs other small "heavyweights"... Clay/Ali feasted on those small boxers, even if at times he had very tough ones like with Doug Jones... But Marciano is really too small, short and slow, Clay/Ali has all the advantages except power...

geezard charles - 95 fights into his career. loses 15 fights afterwards. hardly prime.
moore the compiler - pushing 40. 175 fights into his career. not prime.
i can say rockys resume leaves much to be desired.

Boxing isn't black and white. You have to look at things on a case by case basis. One guy could be past prime at 32 whereas another guy could still be prime at 34.
