One of the big things at the time of the Frazier loss was the punch count.
It was something 500+ to Joe's 300+.
Bill Recht's score card of 11-4 for Frazier stunk in the eyes of the many fans, journo's & regulars etc.
God bless The Rock.

Sharing your view & reasoning here Rodin.
There are versions of Marciano that might have beaten versions of Ali IMO.
But peak Ali vs peak anyone, including Marciano, and my money's on Ali.
