    This. I actually think this fight would go to the cards. Marciano would stick to Louis like glue, so even a prime Louis would still have most of his power neutralized.

    I just can't see any other outcome to this fight, I figure Rocky's tough enough to get back up 2 or 3 times before it's stopped

    Louis was a better all-around fighter. Marciano has an edge on power, but Louis of course, has plenty himself. Marciano was strong and tough, but not a great fighter if you no what I mean, not a thinker like Louis. This could go either way by decision, or even end up in a draw, but I have Louis winning by an SD, mostly cuz of superior boxing skills.

    In series of 3. Marciano would take him out in one of them SURE. Probably in the first one ,i pick Louis to beat him in the rematches

    Well arturo Godoy and Tommy Farr dissagre!
    Arturo Godoy-smaller than Marciano and lack punch,chin,power,skills,heart of Marciano still gave Louis roigh fight while Farr almost won.
    I think Marciano would TKO Louis but very,very late somewhere betwen round 13,14 and 15th because Louis would neutralized his power same way Godoy did but alot better.

    Godoy was bigger than Marciano and he had superior chin.

    How many times was Louis close to being stopped against pressure fighter in his prime?

    Yeah in the rematch but he still gave Louis hell in rematch!
    Farr also almost beat Louis.
    Rocky is much superior than them.

    You have a valid point. Louis seemed to struggle more with lesser opponents. Let's not forget that he was dropped by Tony Galento and Buddy Baer, and Abe Simon almost completed the distance the 1st time around. Bob Pastor also resisted stubbornly. I do have Marciano giving Louis a hard time, since, afterall, Louis is a good boxer, and Marciano is a boxer-killer, which is easily proved by his entire reign as champ: Walcott, LaStarza, Charles, Moore. However, Marciano has never faced anyone with Louis' power, which would also make it something new and unfamiliar for Marciano to face someone very close to his own power. Walcott and Moore floored Marciano, Louis definitely would, maybe even more than once.

    Marciano always beats him. Marciano wasn’t prime for their fight. He hadn’t yet perfected his style.
