The Rock stopped quite a few large heavyweights during his career - not feasting off of a bunch of old timers and 190 lb. stiffs as some have suggested over the years. During the filming of the computer fight with Muhammad Ali, I once read that things got a little heated and the "Rock" actually landed a little bit of leather.
Muhammad Ali said that he was shocked by the power he felt from the "Older, retired" Marciano. And that was 15 years after Rocky's last fight. Not that Rocky would have beaten Ali - both being in their prime. But I really think the Rock would have given anyone a good fight - regardless of size. Stylewise, Foreman may have done the same thing to Rocky as he did to Frazier (twice) but that's an exception, not the rule.
