    Which punch is more dangerous? As in more likely to knock you out.

    Frazier's hook broke guys down but Rocky's right put guys out cold.

    Because it was the harder punch or because they also had to watch rockys left while frazier only had his hook, making it a bit more predictable?

    Did frazier, in your opinion fight bigger, tougher, fresher opponents or was marciano the harder puncher, period?

    Fraziers hook was sharper and hard but both of Marcianos left and right seemed heavier

    Marciano's was harder,Frazier's more accurate and efficiently thrown.Both were grinders who generally scored stoppages after cumulative punishment had been absorbed by their opponents.

    The left hook that Frazier landed on Ali in 1971 was harder than the suzie q that rocky landed over walcott. Being both men top punchers the faster and 20 natural pounds heavier man probably will hit harder.
    Walcott got knocked out and Ali ,"only" dropped and drunk because Ali had a legendary chin and walcott a crappy one. I think that Frazier would knock walcott out but rocky could not ko Ali

    Frazier's hook was one of the all time greatest in boxing history. Rocky had one of the greatest overhand rights of all time, the difference is rocky was a two handed fighter while Frazier was only good with his left not including body punching.

    Frazier's left hook was better than rockys Suzie q if you ask me, it beat more legendary fighters.

    I say Rocky's right was the harder punch period.

    Frazier fought bigger, tougher, fresher opponents in Foreman, Chuvalo, Ali, and Bonavena. As far as toughness and size goes. Look at his results, a knockout loss to Foreman 2x (once in prime), 1 great win and 2 close losses to Ali, a tko over Chuvalo (no knockdown), and a decision win over Bonavena twice (first fight he was knocked down twice). I honestly believe that Marciano would have better results in the Bonavena and Ali fights.

    Agree that rockys right was harder and he might do better than bonavena, but disagree that marciano would do better vs ali. Do you think he wojld win more than 1 of 3? After getting stopped by foreman??

    I think the first fight prime Marciano would have stopped Ali and probably ended his comeback. I can't say how Marciano would do after getting stopped by Foreman, never saw him lose. Let's face it, Frazier was losing it after FOTC. Not because of Foreman.

    I think he hit hard enough to hurt those guys. Some of them like Chuvalo and Bonavena came along shortly after Marciano and no one was hailing them as harder punchers than Marciano, who was still in recent memory. Even though they were bigger. I think he hit hard enough to do damage as Walcott said Marciano hit harder, shot for shot, than Louis. If that's true, he certainly hit hard enough to do damage to the above named fighters.

    Marciano would lose 3 times against Ali and guys like quarry and bonavena would beat him once at least

    Marciano's step in. Actually, it's a bit off subject but there's a half decent video that explains the same thing I was about to:

    at :50 he explains the step in and compares it to Frazier so not much else for me to say other than I believe that's the decider in this fantasy match.

    Marciano's right was a bomb, while Frazier's left was an uzi.
