Rocky was the most dedicated and determined fighter of all time not to mention the most durable and hardest punching. He used to run over 12 miles a day in training part of it up hills for leg strength! The man who refused to lose would have caught Ali and busted him up all night and win by 11th round TKO. Against Tyson he would have traded with Mike and broke Mikes will by the 6th round by KO. Holyfield who is also a warrior would have fought the Rock hard for 10 rounds before being stopped. Lennox Lewis would have tried to keep Rocky from geting him on the ropes absorbing a terrific beating to the body. With his hands down the Rock would have knocked him out by the 9th round. Once again Rocky Marciano prevails. Old school fighters like Marciano came up tough and didn't brag about what they would do in the ring and trained much harder than today's heavyweights. Rocky was and still is a legend and an undefeated one!

All four fighters would have beat Marciano. Holyfield probably having the hardest time. Marciano was small and slow for a heavyweight. The guy had a ton of heart and from what I hear was a very good man but he did not have the tools to win against the fighters mentioned.
Like Larry Holmes said " Rocky Marciano couldn't hold my jockstrap"

1). Ali stops Marciano on cuts.
2). Fight of the millennium (both fighters get knocked out).
3). A draw. Both fighters retire after this fight due to injuries.
4). Early KO by Marciano, Lewis comes out cold.

Not to take anything away from Rocky Marciano, the greatest fighter of his time. However, now a days athletes start their training regiments at an earlier age, today's training methods and facilities are much more advanced then they were forty years ago. So I'd have to say that today's athlete would probably win. I say probably because athletes back then had to have raw talent, and that's a plus for any athlete. But non the less, today's athletes should win...

Marciano could have beat all of them, I'm 99% sure of it

I'm still convinced the mafia of that time set it up so that he would never lose a fight because he's Italian.
