    He definitely defeats Patterson but loses against Liston and Ali.

    I think Marciano would KO Patterosn mid/late rounds, but get stopped early by Liston and lose a UD or even get stopped on cuts late to Ali.:good

    Marciano defeats early Ali imo. PRe Liston Ali.

    I give Rocky a GOOD chance in upsetting Liston, and of couse I feel he wacks Patterson out of there.

    Liston did not have an iron jaw.

    Nah, he'd beat Floyd, the Liston fight would be close and he'd lose to 1965 Ali.

    Not very well at all. Clay makes him look silly before cutting him up. Liston blasts him out of there pretty early. He stands his best chance against Patterson because of Floyd's chin, but Patterson was superfast, a terrific puncher, and had a lot of talent, so I wouldn't bet too much money on a Marciano victory.

    He beats them all. Only an older wiser Ali would stand a chance.

    I.Know how you feel Luigi.As a Liston fan,I tire of hearing how he is over-rated.Also how Johannson,blasted out Machen, and Liston didn't.Yet the fact that a very over the hill Machen,got into the tenth round with Joe Frazier doesn't get mentioned.Does Ingo take Liston and Frazier,because he knocked out Eddie Machen in the first and they didn't?Ofcourse not.Machen got koed cause he thought all he had to do was show up for his fight with Ingo.Fights with common opponents mean very little,one guy is bound to matchup better with certain fighters.

    Debatable.

    Like with Joe Louis you have to look at who actualy managed to knock him out.

    He did very little dancing in this fight and was the fresher man at the end,I think he was out to prove a point about taking punishment to the body ,and he did.
