    Rocky had power and stamina, he was susceptible to cuts as in the Charles fight, Oscar was very awkward and could punch. Marciano takes this one by round 11, as Ringo would not be able to keep Rocky off of him. It would look like the 1968 fight with Frazier.

    Oscar would be there to be hit.

    No comparison between a tall, quick, sneaky counter punching sharp shooter like Ellis and Marciano, any more than there was between Ellis and Frazier....you should realize this, my dude.:cool:

    So never mind, as you've conveniently side stepped, the greater similarities between Marciano and Frazier,...whom Bonavena acquitted himself quite admirably against.

    I wasn't saying he didn't cut easy, just that the most known one was from an elbow

    Keep in mind that Joe was decked 11 times in his career and that his arsenal was limited primarily to his left hook.

    Yeah, unlike the Willie Pep-ish Marciano, he's saying.
