    The Ali of 74 was probably the next best thing to a prime 66-67 Ali.

    I've never seen Marciano as a threat to Ali, especially not a 74 Ali.

    Just my objective opinion.

      Marciano would just be too much for any version of Ali. Ali didn't have the power to dispose of Marciano and I doubt those dancing jabs would do the job alone.

        So you think Marciano could do what no man ever did and stop Ali?

          Why not, he stopped Louis. An aging Louis yes but he could do the same to a younger Louis. Rocky was a beast!

              if ali laid on the ropes like he did against foreman, rocky takes him out with the right hand. watch the video of jersey joe walcott's face when he got hit with that punch

                WOW.
                Ali kills him, all day and every day. Marciano was tough as nails, but he was way too easy to hit, Ali would have shredded his face to pieces. Rocky probably would manage to **** a couple of shots when he gets inside, but Ali would eventually stop him.

                  What are you talking about? Alis jab alone could prolly make the ref stop the fight after he cuts marciano. Frazier was harder to hit than Marciano for sure, and look what happend in Manilla, sure Ali took a beating, but Frazier wasnt looking good either.

                  Only way that could happen is Ali got careless. He respected Marciano alot so I doubt he'd go in there and let himself be crowed by him.

                  No way, Louis would win on cuts or the ref stopping the fight for sure, in his old age he didnt throw combinations like he did before.

                    Rocky wasn't as good as cutting off the ring(in my opinion) compared to Foreman,Foreman made ali fight off of the ropes and I dare say Ali's chin is far superior to that of Jersey Joe Walcott's

                    Marciano slipped punchers better than Frazier ever did.And yes look at what happened in manila,The toughest opponent Ali faced that morning was the heat
