Under 190lbs Who Stands Up With Rocky?

Ali wasn`t ready for Rocky by that stage, his movement wasn`t that good yet, he was easier to hit when he first turned pro, he got better as he went along.

 

If we are including contemporaries, Evander Holyfield

 

I could see Tunney taking a decision.

 

I'd argue that the Clay that beat Moore would beat prime Rocky easily

And, the question was "stands up with" Rocky. Clay was only a few fights away from his prime at that point, and he always had the heart of a champ so I can't see Rocky KO'ing him.

 

Hmm?,, that could be a tad early for Clay in a 15 round fight

 

I don't think so.

 

I understand that , but going from 10 to 15 rounds that young against a guy who doesn't wilt would be tough. The Ali of later years cuts Rocky to pieces.
