    I stood up for Larry a couple posts ago, however, I feel Marciano would've beaten him.

    I think Larry would do well through the first 6 rounds, but the rounds would become progressively harder and Rocky's shots would become more and more telling, and would force Larry into exchanging with him more and more. By the the 12th both would be showing serious damage from the fight, but with Rocky's late round attack sealing the fight for him through rounds 13 to 15.

    Rocky would win a close decision and neither would be the same again. No knockdowns.

    I agree with Bummy on who would win, I just disagree over why/how.

    Larry would win over Rocky in a cut stoppage in the 13th, with Larry leading 8-4 up to that point.

    :good

    Gian Maria Volonte was a good actor. Perfect for bad guy roles.

    Agreed, a likely scenario.

    I don't think Marciano would have gone past 4 with prime Foreman...
