    Once and for all...
    Who wins this fight?

    1952 Marciano that destroyed Walcott vs
    1971 Frazier that busted up and beat Ali

    Similar styles,similar power
    Frazier a bit more in the left hook but Marciano more overall power in both hands

    Chin has to go to Rocky; granite
    Frazier tasted canvas too much

    Speed,similar, but not enough to discern

    Durability; very similar,but Marciano has shown to have the ability to show stamina and never stop throwing and throwing hard very late even.

    Ring generaliship,defense and movement
    similar

    Cuts would be Rocks glaring weakness heat;he would probably get cut and cut early but his heart and determination can't be questioned.Nor can Joe's

    Very equal fight--

    Ali said Marciano would take him;
    Do you agree or disagree with "The Greatest "?

    I think Wilder would whoop them both :p

    ok just kidding, I love this match up, Frazier and Marciano, would be such a slug fest I cant imagine.

    Maybe Frazier because he was a lil bigger and seemed just as tough but who knows with the Rock :think

    Marciano. by brutal ko. When Holmes lost to Spinks and was talking trash about Marciano the sports writers talked to a lot of people in boxing that knew/saw both fighters. One said (sorry can't remember the name, just the sentiment) "Holmes would be well ahead on points right up until Marciano knocked him out." Marciano was on another level. Yes Wilder would be completely destroyed.

    well I happen to think Holmes was better than Frazier and Rocky but that's just me,

    as far as Rocky winning by KO I could see it late, I doubt either one of them KOs the other early.

    Frazier, Marciano's best wins were HW in their 40's back in the 1940's-50's. That's like fighting 50+ year olds in this era.

    how is 38 year far from 40? :lol::lol::lol:

    Most boxers are shot to pieces in this era let alone the 40's-50's at 38.

    Didnt say that, I just favor Frazier. Marciano's resume is one of the most overrated resumes of all time.

    Ellis, Mathis, Foster, not saying Frazier's resume is the best. But his doesn't get overrated like Marciano's does. Frazier's win over a "rusty" ali is miles better than anything Marciano has done.

    Dont tell me you think Marciano would beat Ali too right :patsch.

    He'd bust him up bad over 15. So gets the win? Ali probably
