Marciano vs. Ali

Depends if the Italian mob would fix the fight for Marciano like they always did

 

Marciano by KO. Ali wouldn't stand Rocky's non-stop heavy hooks.

 

I pick Ali, but he might be in for a rough night.

Marciano has that way of coming forward but he bends and rides with the punches. In conjugation, he keeps his arms out as well which helps deflect punches. He stays low, which will help avoid taking Ali's flickering jab. He still eats a bunch of jabs, but fewer than you would expect.
Rocky's stamina is second to none. He can throw hard shots all fight long.

Ali has no inside game at all. When he needs a rest he just grabs his opponents neck and that's where he will take some hard shots to the mid section, and Rocky might sneak some over the top. Ali might even taste the canvass.

So Marciano has his moments, but not enough of them to win the fight. Ali is too durable, too fast, and the bigger man.

Ali by UD.

 

Ali UD, but no way is it easy - he would have to be at his very best. If Muhammad tries the rope-a-dope, I think Marciano would do much better than Foreman did.

 

lol

 

Foreman didn’t throw the volume Marciano did and was very sloppy

Marciano with those shorter arms and shorter, compact shots would have done better

 

Wrong forum.

 

No.

Ali takes this in a tough, gruelling 15 rounds.

Wide decision...12-3 or 13 -2, but ALI knows he's been in a fight.

 

Marciano KO.

 

Ali had physical advantages and he's faster than him. Ali would have frustrated Marciano and would have beaten him by UD.

 

Ali should have had at least a couple more losses on that record.

 

Foreman waling on him whilst Ali took full advantage of the ropes not being tightened up correctly.

 

Marciano haters are so ridiculous

Look what Frazier did to Ali and tell me Marciano couldn’t have had some success

Also, Marciano would have benefited from different training and nutrition methods from the 50’s to the 70’s

Not saying Ali loses, but he definitely would have to work

 

Pre Jail Ali would massacre slow slegged Rocky

 

Maybe, post jail definitely doesn’t.
