    Lyle had right hand close to Marciano and Marciano was almost hard to hit as Ali!
    He crouched low unlike Frazier!

    Yeah fat washed Qawi just like Toney was amiddleweight who added only fat to became HW!Qawi was not 220lb of muscle but of fat!He was natural LHW 185 lbs!Qawi was a bit faster but with not that good chin,not near powerful and not close to stamina and heart!

    And Qawi got crushed by Foreman. He may have won 20 seconds of that fight.

    tbf, only three people have voted for Marciano.

    There will be, and should be people picking for any ATG heavy in any ATG heavy fantasy match up.

    Sometimes the onus is on the majority to post accordingly, too.

    Frazier was a bigger fighter with a longer reach than Rocky had and was knocked down 3 times in the first and 3 in the second coming right at Foreman, Lyle and Peralta boxed. Post a video of Marciano boxing and using his side to side movement. Marciano is tailor made to be ko'ed early by George

    Good post. I think George was better against Frazier than he was against anybody else. I always was impressed with that win. He certainly did not show that kind of patience against Ali, Jimmy young or Ron Lyle.

    it is a pity that we never got to see more of that version of Foreman. He seemed troubled & left boxing before he had fully matured as a fighter.

    Foreman was not so well regarded in ATG lists after his first career. Experts who saw both usually listed Gene Tunney higher than George.

    Look at the 3 people who voted for Rocky however. Hardly objective and honest posters.

    Oddly enough, isn't this about the same ratio as the Bowe vs. Primo thread :)

    Frazier is a little bigger!But Marciano is stronger,harder puncher better chin and stamina with better defense!He crouched low and was harder to hit!Frazier was knocked down but not knocked out!
    Also Lyle did not boxed!He slugged and he is not also strong as Marciano!
    Qawi??Ha was smaller than Frazier and Marciani but did well and had similar style to Marciano!If Rocky past 5 rounds Foreman would take bad beating in later rounds even worse than he hot against Ali and Young!

    Gave Foreman a pretty good fight? Maybe we have a different meaning of pretty good fight.
