    ive always felt that marciano's 6 defences in 2 years as champ, was highly overrated......but, to the point of this thread.....had liston of got hold of him.....he would have been dead meat....

    comments please people..... :happy

    With Rock conveniently retiring at 32 years old, had he been active just a few more years (which he should have i mean 6 title defences wtf?) he would have had to run into Liston who would have taken his head off IMO

    Yeah, any idiot who says that Marciano is the best all time just because he was undefeated is way off . he only had 6 defenses and he got out before facing Patterson OR Liston. And him against a young Ali would have been a joke of a fight. I dare say that dempsey would have beat him since Dempsey beat guys waaaay bigger than himself.

    Liston was a far better boxer,he was bigger an hit harder than anyone Rocky had faced.Marciano fought good guys who were around at the time but they all seem to be about the same size as him, La Starza from what ive read was a very good fighter but like Rocky he was not massive.Its not Marciano`s fault,thats just how it was.Had he met Liston he would imo have lost by stoppage or KO but he would have had a good go before the end came.

    would be interesting. I don't see Marciano being intimidated by Liston. perhaps Liston would be frustrated if Marciano kept coming and coming. i wouldn't rule out the possibility of Liston quitting like he did against Ali.

    very unlikely....

    it is well documented that against Ali, liston had the involvement of the mob to deal with....not ali's fault.....but both of those fights looked EXTREMELY dubious....

    and plus, liston's best years had arguably passed too...looking more of an old man against ali....

    plus marciano isnt ali in any way shape or form.....he would have tried to trade with liston, as thats all he knew....and liston....would definitely get the better of that game...

    liston KO within 4
