    These arguments are really pointless. Rocky Marciano beat every person that was placed in front of him in his career.

    He was not fun to watch. He had a strange, "crab" style of fighting. He was small yet a very powerful puncher. He was relentless in his attack and won many fights on attrition.

    To speculate on the outcomes of Marciano vs. Ali, etc is really pointless.

    The linear champions of the heavyweight division all deserve their props for their accomplishments.

    I have to put Rock withing the top 5 all time, but that's just a guess, and just my opinion.

    If we only had a time machine!

      According to the site Ali was messing around. He obviously didnt take this fight seriously. When somebody gets hit with a body shot when they arent even protecting themselves, especially by a fighter like rocky marciano the other fighter will probably drop down 99% of the time. A prime Ali might have some trouble with Rocky, but he would still rack up rounds. You can compare Foremans power to Marciano and Ali fought Foreman beautifuly. I just cant see the bigger, quicker Ali losing.
