Marciano was skilled enough to beat guys like Walcott Moore and a still dangerous though faded version of Charles.
In real life Ali lost to Joe Frazier, him losing to Marciano hardly seems outlandish.

The thing about the 70s is that its rated highly by people of that generation. Fight fans of other generations generally have a much lower...
