it's a known fact that the first thing a fighter looses is speed and the last thing they lose is punching power. all ali had was speed and all marciano had was punching power, so without speed, ali would be crap in the ring, so marciano beating a slow ali doesn't mean anything.
Very true butterfly. Ali's style is hard to maintain with age but Foremans style is simple. This is a reason why Foreman was still able to fight in his 40's, no speed but still his great punching power that formed the basis of his style.
