    This doesn’t end well for MSM.

    Well the fight poster for promotional purposes would be easy to title:

    There Will Be Blood

    I don’t put a lot of stock into Qawi vs MSM because that’s at the time the wars really caught up with Matthew, but I do think Rocky is just too strong and too much. I don’t see MSM carrying 185-190 well and as resilient as he was, there would be a breaking point.

    Rocky KO 6 but there would be some blistering exchanges.

    If Rocky Marciano and Matthew Saad Muhammad meet at heavyweight, Marciano likely wins by late TKO. His size, durability, and nonstop pressure would wear Saad Muhammad down over time, despite Saad’s toughness and comeback ability.
