SRR would be in seriously deep trouble against most of the heavyweight elites.

That said, 160 pound SRR against 185 pound Marciano might have held a slight bit of interest.

Easy question to answer. Duran DID do reasonably well for himself as a Middleweight, considering he was past his best years and fighting weight, and Robinson failed in his one fight as a Light Heavyweight...which doesn't suggest he would do well fighting even bigger men. (I know the heat beat him against Maxim, but still....he has no wins at Light Heavyweight was my point)
