    Chuvalo made Ali **** blood. Really, what else is there to do?

    Ali is all but impossible to knock down, none the less knockout. He'd finish the fight if bodywork had him dying of organ failure.

    All this talk of Marciano tiring Ali out, and no one's analyzing that Ali could do the same thing right back. He was every bit as adept as Lennox Lewis as leaning on a fighter, pulling their head down, so on and so forth. Sure as hell worked tiring Frazier, another 15 round fighter.

    Muhammad Ali would box Marcianos head off , but Marciano would last 15 rounds

    Id go for Ali, I was going to say by stoppage, but Maricano had an iron chin and a huge heart, I dont see it going any other way than a points win for Ali.

    Mr Bill, I'll have to check Doug Jones weight, but I'm guessing he wasn't that much above the 190 pounds Marciano carried? Russell, yeh, I think Ali would have the decision here, but Rock hit harder then Chuvalo and I think he would have put him on the ropes more often as he moved forward constantly, George kind of waited for Ali to slow during moments to do so. And theres the chance in the later rounds, after all those body and arm punches, of Marciano really getting through too. Well, in my opinion.

    Ali by UD.

    But he would pay for it. Marciano would beat him to the body like no one else did.
