Intresting fight, could be a real slugfest, with both men going down at least once, I think Cooney will dominate the first couple of rounds, and then late in the fight Marciano will most likely win by TKO, but it's possible for Cooney to win by TKO, or UD. your thoughts?

Marciano would destroy him with the first punch he lands flush on the jaw, be it a left hook or overhand right. Maybe not knock him completely out but stagger him and set him up for more punishing blows. Cooney would give the Rock some trouble early on with his strength and size, but it would only be a matter of time.
