Cassius Clay V Rocky Marciano

[moofo]

My whole point was that I think Rocky had every chance to be competitive and possibly win.
Not that he would outright win no matter what.
Anyway I've discussed this subject too many times to be getting into it yet again lol.

Hahaha...I hear ya. Ali, Marciano, Tyson, fighters that get people in trouble with their "Myth/Legend Status"

I would say a peak Tyson had a better shot to beat a peak Ali than Rocky did.

Take Ali. Too much speed on Ali's part; too brittle skin on Marciano's part. Rocky was a bleeder and Ali was the best I ever saw at opening cuts: That's a bad combination. Under the more lax rules of the early 50s regarding cuts it might not be an issue, but any fight after 1960 gushing cuts get the fight stopped.
