    Marciano in a very entertaining fight. He just brings too much more of everything that Qawi banks on.

    Marciano's superior strength and power surfaces and inevitably breaks down Qawi. Great battle...like tank warfare really, while it lasts.

    Marciano in 4 rds. Marciano has the power to damage Qawi. Very entertaining fight.

    Marciano takes Qawi in 9-11 rounds.

    Qawi can't absorb Marciano's blasts and gets stopped within 5. He'd be right there where Rocky wanted him.

    Disagree .. Qwai was exceptionally strong and a very good defensive fighter .. I like Rocky to come on strong late as the harder punching , better conditioned guy and pound out a decision after a very interesting first ten rounds or so ..

    Going toe to toe with Marciano was obviously not a good idea!

    Marciano is Qawi squared, he stops him in the mid rounds.

    They are very different fighters. Qwai was much better defensively and a boxer puncher despite his size. I just see Rocky as being too much as a fight moves on, especially over 15.

    No, no, no he grant, just plain, all out, no frills, old fashioned, emphatic NO. Marciano isn't the cream puff wimp that the revisionists here want to make him out to be. He CRUSHES Qawi in 5 or 6.
