Ali vs prime Liston May 20th 1974 and the rope a dope

Foxy...I agree that Ali beats Rocky, at least usually. And Foreman hit harder than Rocky for individual punches, though with less volume. But you betray much bias.

Ali himself said that he felt marciano was better than Frazier, & Rocky was about 15 years retired. Now maybe that was in part to sell tickets, yet he sounded completely sincere, + Ali was not yet abusing/raging against his friend Joe Frazier.

He also asked if someone was crazy who dismissed Rocky, showed all his body bruises...And he got doubled over by ROcky, who offered to make it a real fight, when Ali kept jabbing off that toupee, despite Marciano's warnings.

Yes, Stvie G. is exactly on target regarding styles, & the specific likely results of the match ups contemplated.

 

Entaowed, your credibility disappears with your claim that anyone ( in this instance me ) who claims Ali easily outclasses the crude Marciano, and indeed is as capable of stopping him as he did Foreman, or forcing Fraziers corner to retire him, is only guilty of extreme bias.

If anything the bias on this board comes from those who state that Marciano KO's any and every Heavyweight Champion since his own short reign.
