    She speaks from the heart. she admits rocky said clay was always underrated. People dont realize ali and marciano became close friends during the superfight and rated eachother highly ever since. She even uses sound ring advice saying The Ring is only so big that rocky would catch him. I disagree rocky would beat ali, but to say she is full of **** is going overboard. Barbara used to be so pretty too, its sad what depression does to you. All those years rocky was away from her training, she went into depression picked up smoking and blew up.

    So, I guess I shouldn't speak so harshly about people's wives?

    I think she was more open and honest than what Murray Woroner was. Woroner and others tried to make more out of it than what it was, and she told the truth. Her husband was The Rock, and its a given she was going to pick him to beat Ali. But, she was more mundane and honest about it than anyone else involved, imo.

    Also thought it was great that even after Zaire, Ali still said that he picked Marciano, out of all the past champs before him, to have given him the toughest fight.

    I actually think if Marciano used a wig and earrings and raised his voice a bit, that could've been him right there in that interview.

    Very loyal to her Old Man ,can't knock her for that, and she seemed to have some ring savvy, judging by her comments.

    I always thought that if anyone had the requirements to beat Ali stylistically, it would possibly be Marciano, the only thing throwing me off would be the size differential. But then again Ali has the requirements to beat any other heavyweight imo.

    By the way guys, thanks for the vids, they were good.

    Good find and Ali was right Marciano would be a tougher fight for him stylisticly than Foreman or Liston.....Joe Frazier had the tougher style than Foreman and Liston for Ali but Frazier said the 2 men that would beat him and Ali were Louis and Marciano.....my guess is that thos 3 are the greatest, depending on who you prefer, no one can really argue with anyway you place them
