I agree with the original computer results that the bout could go both ways.
One had Ali winning on points the other with Rocky on top by tko!
What was more interesting was both mens comments on each other. Granted both were not in fighting condition but fighters have an innate feeling how they judge one another. Ali felt that Marciano could be his most difficult opponent because he had power in both hands and was fast on his moves inward. Ali thought he would have to be in top condition and probably win on rounds.
Marciano comments after their computer filming was over was "I would have killed him"!
That pretty much sums Rocky's attitude up.
I believe it would have been better than Ali / Frazier One, because I believe Marciano would have a better attack on Ali. I love Joe's competitive nature but Rocky could punch with two hands and both Joe & Rocky had very good jabs when they used them.
I would lean towards Ali athletic ability and his will to win to get a decision.
I actually knew people who fought Marciano and they're respect for his game was very high.
I know I'd pay to see it! Ray.
