Very close, but..

Frazier had a better left hook, tougher skin, and was faster. Marciano had a better right, better stamina, and never lost his power as the fight wore on. Very close, but Ali picked Marciano on this one, and I would too. Frazier was very open for the right, and that was Rocky's bread and butter. Bonavena put Frazier down twice with it in their first first. Both men had good chins with the edge slightly to Marciano. Marciano was a bit of a slow starter, but once he reached round three, look out. Joe was a very fast starter.

[The Smash]

I think Joe would climb off the ground to win a decision. In saying that though, I wouldn't be at all concerned with who won. I'd just be sitting there, Corona in one hand Cohiba in the other, with a gigantic smile on my face.

Joe wasn't a fast starter he always lost the first round.

Frazier decision. Both men have great intangibles and excellent physical attributes. Frazier excells more in the skills department and bobs and weaves his way to a close decions victory.

Frazier has much better defense than Marciano in my opinion.

[Southpaw Stinger]

They probably wouldn't be in the best of health afterwards.

Like me after I ate 3 chicken vinadloos in one night. And the beer... my god the beer!

[BigStereotype]

This quickly turns into a punch-for-punch slugfest. I trust Marciano's chin a lot more than Frazier's. Marciano KO 8.
