Wow
you give me a link to peoples opinions, thats one sports writer, when i have read other sports writers stating SHAVERS is the most powerful, others saying FOREMAN. The point still stands, Ali had the greatest Chin of any heavyweight, the most condition of any heavyweight, if he can take shots to the head from shavers and foreman Marciano isn't going to drop him... if he can take 8 rounds of foreman pummeling the body, marciano isn't going to drop him. Its not going to be like rumble and the jungle when Ali lost his ability to move fluidly in the ring, marciano having slower footwork would not be able to CUT OFF ali... and when he did Ali would absorb his punishment and simply tie him up. Marciano may have been powerful but he didn't have the handspeed of say frazier, and like foreman going from body to head will be in VAIN. Ali will Tie him up, move around the periphery and pick him off... im not saying Ali was invincible, he could be beaten, never 3/5 times in his prime, but marciano is not the type of fighter that would beat Ali. Ali fought well against agressors in his prime, they would move forward and he would control the range and counter punch... someone like Louis would give a Prime Ali trouble.
