Who would win: Ali (in his prime) vs. Marciano (in his prime).
The bout takes both men, adjusts them for their age and physique when they were in their prime and they go at it in a 15 round fight!

That's stupid. More than that, both me fought in two different eras. Ali fought in the beginning of a new era where young and hungry fighters were abundant.
Rocky Marciano fought a the tail end of an era where the best had already peaked, but he fought them anyway for victories with name recognition. Sort of like how the most significant Lennox Lewis victories are against men who were clearly over the hill, but the victory over their names is what was important to him.
I won't say who would have won because that type of crap doesn't amount to a hill of beans anyway. I will say that one boxer fought much better and tougher competition than the other.
