Size difference really wont enter the picture. A great crouching fighter will negate this difference by fighting small and low.
Thing is TECHNICALLY Walcott, Charles, Moore were all Ali’s superior. They were not greater than Ali but technically better fighters.
The other thing is the game you just played can be done with any fighter. Frazier took Ali to hell over three bouts with really just one punch and a bad left eye, Cooper nearly put Ali’s lights out, etc etc.
The closest fighter to Marciano that Ali faced was Frazier and Rocky was clearly Joes superior. One has to believe Marciano has a very good chance of beating Ali if Frazier did as well as he did over three bouts.
Ali himself felt Marciano had a good chance of beating him stating that indeed Marciano was Frazier’s superior. Ali commented that even playing in the ring with Rocky he could barely lift his arms he was hit so hard.
