    During the 1969 computerized "super-fight" between Ali and Marciano, rumors have circulated since that the two men actually traded blows during the 75 round segments that were later spliced into the 13 round serial we see today. According to Murray Woroner and Ferdie Pacheco, who were there, an angered Marciano doubled Ali over with a body shot and floored him!

    Since that time, the "fairy tale" scenario has never been found on film....UNTIL NOW! It appears on film, with Ali throwing a high jab, making Marciano's wig fly off his head, and Marciano throws a single right hook to Ali's midsection. Ali doubles over, and falls to the floor, and Dundee and others enter the ring bitching at one another, and Marciano walks off the set. Filming stops.

    I remember last year, Mendoza pretended that footage of Walker-Greb had been found. That was much more horrifying than this.

    I seriously contemplated doing a 'Ray Robinson Welterweight fights found in perfect condition!' But didn't have enough factual information about any small regional town in the States to base a fake report (as I assumed that's the kinda' place something like that would be found, in an attic in a ghost town)

    I bought the "Marciano-Ali" DVD a few years back........ I like it............ However, all bull**** aside, Marciano CANNOT and NEVER could beat Muhammad Ali in the ring..... Time Machine or not...... Never..........

    The DVD has two endings in order to satisfy the fans of either Marciano or Ali...... I tend to believe the late round TKO by Ali in which Marciano is covered in blood.... That ending is realistic...... Cheers......

    Can't imagine Ali being floored by any bodyshot after Chuvalo beat on his midsection for 15 rounds until he pissed blood, and the other body beatings he soaked up.

    Perhaps Marciano cant ko Ali.

    BUT I would not write Rocky off. I think the fight is 50 50 one way or other. Marciano does have the style to give Ali hell. and like Norton, can thown arkward punchings. I can see a Marciano victory here on points.

    There are eye witness. But to be fair, Ali was out of shape, while Rocky train his butt off for this computer fight.

    Flabby body will definitely not help you as much as a trained one when it comes to bodyshots.

    Enter Tyson/Tubb's bodyshot KO.

    Ill tell ya, ali gained alot of respect for marciano after that sparring session. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS he told angelo dundee "that marciano is alot harder to hit with a jab than he looks." at one point Duva came over to ali when they were sparring and marciano said "Muhammad lift up ur shirt" and Ali lifted it up his whole midsection was pinkish red with welts ali said "that boy is crazy". of course this is all sparring and marciano was old man and ali was 26 and didnt go full out. I did hear marciano hit ali so hard to the body at one point, ali got angry and said if he did that again he was going to tear his face off with a jab. I heard another story ali knocked marcianos wig off and marciano got really pissed off and threated to hit ali hard if he did it again.


    Ill tell ya prime for prime I pick ali to win a close decision, but ali would be in for the fight of his life. Hell tell ya. Ali became closer with marciano than any other white boxer he ever knew he once said. When asked of the greatest champions of all time...he talked down many champions. for instance he called james jeffries "slowest and clumsiest champion of all time." but he always spoke highly of the rock.



    Anyone on the marciano Ali DVD phamplet have the full quote ali said about marciano??? about he cant imagine what he fought like in his prime, something to that effect

    Ali said Marciano would likely be the toughest match-up for him of all the past champions.

    The former champion that he had most respect for as a boxer was Gene Tunney. :good

    Ali said of Marciano, "My whole body ached, and ours wasn't a real fight," when asked of Marciano's body punching abilities. He also said he was amazed that with Marciano being nearly 46 years old that Ali had difficulty trying to land a jab on him. He also said he couldnt believe, for being 45, how strong Marciano was, that he could not imagine what a prime Marciano was like.
