Look at the trouble Marciano has finding Moore, even though he can back him up often (Moore still pushes him back sometimes) and cut off the ring.
His accuracy is awful, and he is bailed out by his stamina and power. I do not take credit from the win. Heavyweight Moore was a very good fighter and a difficult styles match-up for Marciano. Like I think Ali would be.
Moore may hit harder and be a bit craftier than Ali, but Ali is a stronger and quicker man than Moore and used more combinations. He is also one of the most durable boxers ever.
He had a lot more left than Moore did at this stage, and Moore was able to drop and outfox Marciano a lot despite being a smaller man.
I don't think Marciano could manage to get anything started. That version of Moore may have been very good, but Ali was great. Come at me
