    I always felt Marciano would bother Ali.
    I know unlike Ali he doesnt do well i fantasy matchups but his style would bother Ali.
    Atleast the Ali from the 70's.
    You guys really cant see him tearing off om Ali close up while the latter tries to clinch and lean back only to get hit by a launching in left hook punch?

    Not saying he would win perse but stylistically its as easy as oh Ali defeats the plodding light heavyweight cause he is taller and faster.

    If Frazier and him never fought people would say the same **** how Joe doesnt stand a chance vs Ali.

    Oscar Bonavena gave Ali a tough fight. Him and Rocky were about the same height and weight, but I think Rocky was better than Oscar.

    Marciano would prove to be tough, similar to Chuvalo vs. Ali but in the end he convincingly loses by unanimous decision...

    You accidentally minimized their prime weights by rounding one down & the other up.
    In reality it was at least 25 pounds.

    Marciano by brutal KO. 8th or 9th round.

    Ali probably carves him up but Marciano would make it dicey.

    Ali late TKO or UD.

    True that but see who they both fought. Ali faced and beat a murderer’s list of the best heavyweights in history. Rocky as much as I love him did not.

    Just saying, Rock faced legends like Jersey Joe and Joe Louis and knocked them out.. he always found a way to win, Ali did not, as much as I love him.

    Ali faced a much higher level of competition. Rocky faced ageing fadeD fighters past their best and he was protected?

    Hating on real Greatness. Rock never lost to someone with less than 10 fights before, I can tell you who has though.
