You know there were two endings filmed for that fight, one where Ali won for the Brittish and Europeon audiences and one where Marciano won for the USA audiences (as Ali was unpopular in USA at the time)

The computer that decided the outcome was used to try to predict the winner of real boxing matches - to which it failed miserably.

The DVD only shows the Marciano victory over Ali. The cover says it also includes an alternate ending, but if you choose to view the alternate ending, it is again the Marciano victory over Ali. So, they made a mistake in not including the Ali victory.

Marciano's career was longer then fraziers by more then 10 fights so its not like he had the shortest career, Marciano was great and would have been better if he had fought in Ali's time because there was more avalible, just as there's more avalible today then back then. Marciano's not really crude he had a tendency to look awkward when he missed. His style was great, defense straight to offense, and punch that could bring men 200Lbs+ down. Its funny how ppl say well if tyson used those gloves or frazier or whoever used them would have done just as much damage, if i'm not mistaken they've used 10 oz gloves as a standard since after the 20's.

He mixed it up, could bring nearly any hw ever down with a few combinations (not really a dramatization),KO power in either hand

people don't regard him as the greatest, which is fine it may be because he was very humble and not flashy but the point is he was a great fighter and you can't take 49-0 away from him

and unlike other hw he never needed like 6 months to train he was always conditioned, 2 months before a fight he'd kick it up and do double everything to be ready so, 49-0, highes ko rate, hell of a punch,trained religiously, humble, not much more you could ask of a hw champion

Marciano never had to face Ali and Foreman

If you really look at Marciano, he did pretty well for a guy that picked up boxing late and had few amatuer fights.

Great fighters usually have the time and fights to mature into "great" fighters, Marciano learned in the pros, kind of like Hasim Rahman.

Did you ever hear of Joe Frazier, pretty dam close, but at least Joe was better at making you miss punches...I couldn't imagine what Foreman would do to Marciano, knowing that the Rock left himself opened a lot...those punches that Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Walcott, and others landed, it would not compare to George's power.

For Ali, just watch the Liston fight, all he has to do is move around, and use his speed of hand. Marciano was no Tyson when it came to closing the distance; where Tyson was fast like
RB (football), Marciano was more of a plodder, not to fast on the feet.

IMO Rocky's the best inside fighter, and also Rocky had an easier time getting inside on somebody. Whereas Liston was the one at the disadvantage style wise Marciano being a swarmer/slugger would have the advantage, plus Marciano's best punch was the one Ali was most sespetible to, Right Hook (I believe it was).
