    Smoke is all that comes out of your mouth.

    You can't even answer straight questions, you play word games and semantics, and you refuse to defend your arguments that you spent literally years repeating. You're not only a coward, you're a hypocrite claiming I write "dissertations" (which have only gotten heaps of praise from other posters), yet you have written plenty of lengthy walls of text yourself. I wouldn't trust you to show up for an arm wrestling match, let alone a fight.

    Just stick to making youtube videos, I'll grant that you're good at that.

    You run down Liston, Foreman, Ali, Tyson etc and always side with Dempsey, Marciano etc.
    I see a definite pattern which is quite concerning.

    Which of these do you dispute? I'm willing to have a debate for each and every topic listed in my post that I feel Quarry was superior in. Do you accept my challenge, or are you going to run away like your predictable cowardly self?

    I thought this was settled in 1970. I saw the fight, in The Stanley Theater, in Philadelphia, on the big screen. I sat right behind Muhammad Ali, and chatted with him throughout the fight. It cost only $5 to get in and see the fight. Marciano won by TKO13. (Though I heard they fought again in Europe and Muhammad won a 15 round Decision.)

    What if everything you ever thought about your life was predicated on a lie? Would everything based on an untruthful foundation then therefore be subject to the woes of that structural integrity or does each new thing upon the foundation live in a self-contained integrity all its own, possibly being truthful, despite that which houses or homes it? Is a good roof truly and veritably good if it sits atop this haunted house on the hill, as it were? Or can only a roof be good if what lies, or lays, or layeth beneath be also good and also true?

    My own personal opinion, this fight would resemble the first George Chuvalo fight on March 29 1966, Muhammad Ali was not at his peak, against Joe Frazier in 1971, Ali was not at his peak or prime. Ali had 18 rounds since his 43 month banishment, against Jerry Quarry in 1970, again, the banishment of 43 months, sparring does not count, I noticed Ali's timing was off, missed opportunities, but true, he got the job done. Prime Ali of 1967 stops a game Rocky Marciano on cuts, TKO 13.

    I do own a copy of the DVD that was shown in 1970 during Muhammad Ali's absence from the ring, it has both versions, Ali wins in the the first version, the second version, Marciano stops Ali, TKO 13.

    Any version of Ali would beat Rocky Marciano by 1st round KO. Rocky couldn't handle light punching 170 pound Ted Lowry punching power but yeah Marciano fanboys will tell you he could handle Ali's power. Anybody who is a fan of Marciano should be banned from this site.
