Muhhamad Ali(74) vs Prime Rocky Marciano

[them_apples]

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

Foreman and Frazier couldn't take him out..rocky most certainly isn't going to.

And now I offer you a quote from the great Smokin' Joe Frazier weighing in on this fantasy fight.

"Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight champion of all time. Rocky Marciano is second only to Louis. Where do I rate Ali? Somewhere below me. I beat him, and if I could beat him, no doubt Joe Louis and Rocky Marciano could have beaten him."
-- Joe Frazier

You would think that such a qoute would have been made not long after the first fight.But it really wouldn't have suprised me if Frazier had made such a qoute in the last five years.

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

hahhaahahaha

frazier was no defensive wizard, but his head movement/overall defence is far superior to marciano's, rocky's face was probably the most open target on an elite fighter ive ever seen

Nah, can't agree with you here, marciano's defence was pretty sound when he hit his prime. have a look at this video!


dundee also says marciano had a good defence!

[HopeFalcon]

Never knew Marciano was this defensive.

Ali would win by decision. Just so much better than Rocky and bigger as well.

I think Ali takes this one due to the sheer size advantage. I think it's unlikely for there to be a KO in this type of fight. Also, Marciano's best chance would be to get in close and pound Ali, but in my opinion he would have his work cut out getting near enough to Ali to make it look like he was winning the fight, so a decision win for Marciano is out of the question. I think Marciano would come on late in the fight due to his amazing stamina, but i think it would be too little too late by then as Ali would have racked up the rounds earlier on.
