How big of a chance would you give Marciano against Foreman?

    Basically it's down to whether Marciano can survive the initial first 3 or so rounds.

        marciano had a better stance(kept his chin tucked), and guard (pretty much allways kept his right at his chin) than forman with it even in the other areas.

        fraizaer might have died if marciano landed that many clean hits on him. forman has a pushing punch that relyed on strength not distance. foreman had a more powerful punch but marcianos was harder, more distance oriented, had more weight behind it, and the better finisher.

        chin i have my reasons for marcianos being better and smarter but i guess we can just agree to disagree here.
