  • Best HWs that would be CWs today?

    For example, Jerry Quarry and Rocky Marciano would be cruiserweights today. Which great heavyweights would have been cruiserweights by today's standards?

    If they were taken straight out of the old era and stuck straight into this one then there are loads.

    Young Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey and Floyd Patterson are the best i can think of right now who fought below 200lbs.

    If they were all raised and trained in the modern era they would all be decent sized heavyweights.

      Joe Louis was good for his time, but he isn't good by modern standards, bro.

          Which amazing wins did he have? Tell me Joe Louis' top 3 best wins. His resume was worse than Wilder's. There is not even a Scott or a Stiverne on Louis' win list.

            Im not an authority on this, but MAx Schmelling, Max Bear, Primo Carnera, Jersey Joe Walcott, JAmes Braddock, Billy Conn, Buddy Baer, NAthan Mann, Tommy Farr were all top 5, some were champions, some were hall of famers.

            All were better than Stiverne and Malik Scott who have achieved pretty much nothing relatively. Not that that has anything to do with the thread you created
