    marciano has no chance against foreman. at all. foreman hits 5 times as hard as marciano, plus he is more skilled.

      if he hit 5 times as hard as marciano he would not only kill but litteray decapitate every single one off his opponents.

      and saying foreman is more skilled is complete bullocks too

        Yea in the 70's Foreman was not all that skilled, he was just a vicious animal. A lot of the time he just took wild swings and only pawed with the jab. His second career he was a much better BOXER. But I dont know if Marciano could handle Foremans power. Marciano came at a time when the toughest competition were way past their primes, and at that time 37 years old was more like 44 years old now because of the conditioning wasnt as good, longer rounds, fighting more fights more often and also one was allowed to take much more punishment before a fight was stopped then today.

            foreman was stronger than rocky, and wayyy to big for rocky

            for his size, rocky was stronger and tougher than george.

              its called power

              in case you didnt know, fraizer basiclly walks at you with his crablike defernse to get inside and hurtyou
              foreman was too strong, too powerful and too big for fraizer.

                look he had to have some skills to beat frazier, no matter how powerful he is.

                  obviously he was skilled, but he relied totally on his power and size than his skill.
                  take lennox lewis for example.
                  he would beat rocky and fraizer, not because hes better, because hes bigger

                      I think he means technique.
