    a prime Marciano VS a prime Liston, who'd win?

    IMO Liston would. The 84 inch jab would be hitting Marciano fairly easily IMO, and it has so much power. Liston has so much power too, he hit in and around Foreman's range.

    I think Marciano would put up a great fight, but IMO Liston would have too much.

      There is not a single swarmer/brawler in history who could beat Liston. Marciano gets his lights put out in 6 rounds.

        If you think that, than you need to watch some Liston fights other than Clay/Ali, where he was well past his prime.

          He doesn't need to. As far as he's concerned Marciano wins on pigmentation alone.

            Sounds like a great fight, I will add it to the fight schedule.

            I think Rocky wins, he had no dog in him, and Liston had a little.

              Frazier had no dog in him either. How did that work out for him against George?

                Marciano goes through hell to score a late KO.

                    No mate, Rocky Marciano would break his weak heart............ C'mon Ali vs Liston II. ------------------ that's why, only a man willing to go near death beats Rocky Marciano. You need more than a big punch and a fearsome face to beat Marciano, anyone has to fight a war with him, he's gonna take guys to places they've never been to.
