If this has been does to death already please link me, thanks. Me thinks it has... I see this a most evenly contested match up. Similar in size, stature, conditioning and yes...power! these two sluggers would have conducted quite a battle of guts and bravery. Frazer had his bobbing and weaving style that made it hard to get a bead on, Marciano had head movement that wasn't as obvious but enough to evade as many punches as Frazer. I saw a bunch of Rocky specials (three shows in a row I think) on one of the ESPN channels last night and am amazed as to how amateurish and sloppy he appears. This is not to put Rocky down as there was a method to his madness and no one beat him and precious few lasted the distance. This amateurish rushes were frustrating to his opponents and even ones who caught him coming in couldn't drop him (except Walcott and Moore) Whether Rocky hit harder than Frazer or vice versa is hard to say but I'll wager that Frazer hit harder than either Jersey Joe Walcott or Archie Moore, two dudes who floored Rocky. Rocky no doubt hits harder than Oscar Bonavena who knocked down Frazer, but Marciano does not hit harder or as hard as Foreman. Marciano likes the action in close & personal and Frazer is legendary and an ATG for his infighting skills. How does this play out?

What the ****s with you with all these resonable posts? As for your thread question...I gotta go Rocco.
Frazier. He was a little quicker, a little bigger, a little harder to hit. But he would've been in extreme danger the whole time.
leaning towards Frazer on this one. I'm gonna stick to my rule, "when in doubt, bet on the black guy". Frazer got beat, but there is a possibilty Marcinao would have also been beaten had he faced Ali and foreman.
This is only the 865 thread on this fantasy match-up since the beginning of 2k11. That being said, Rocky by late TKO.
